Estadio Mesada
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Anastasio Laurendi took the kick off in the first half of the match. Justino Fix showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Anastasio Laurendi in the 6th minute of the match. A collision led to Mesada FC getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Alfonso Raitin hit a great ball. Juan Eleder succeeded in the game's 14th minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 1-0. After 19 played minutes, Deportivo Cristal's Arnulfo Tercero shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Justino Fix came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Deportivo Cristal reached it. Ermegildo Oinatz's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 24thth minute, Rene Matia skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Isaias Acevedo kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. Isaac Ignazio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Justino Fix tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 34th minute Juan Eleder shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rene Matia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Deportivo Cristal's Rene Matia played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Juan Eleder in the 36th minute of play. In the 41st minute, Anastasio Laurendi left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Deportivo Cristal fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. Rene Matia stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Milosz Major's shot from short distance in the 45th minute. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Juan Eleder to strike the kick off in the second half. Deportivo Cristal's Anibal Rosalio pulled a muscle in his leg after 51 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Alfonso Raitin's late challenge caught a Deportivo Cristal's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alfonso Raitin helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Mesada FC's Alfonso Raitin got a free kick in the 52nd minute. If Ermegildo Oinatz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mesada FC's Justino Fix proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 69th minute of the match, managed to save Mesada FC from getting a goal against them. After a defensive mix-up in Deportivo Cristal's zone, Ermegildo Oinatz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rene Matia came out of the goal and Ermegildo Oinatz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Deportivo Cristal's Rene Matia played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Juan Eleder in the 73rd minute of play. After having played for 75 minutes, Juan Eleder managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mesada FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Juan Eleder was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Ermegildo Oinatz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Juan Eleder received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Rene Matia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Juan Eleder in the 95th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Rene Matia saved Deportivo Cristal from getting behind. Mesada FC were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
