Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Edgardo Cugat made the kick off which started today's match. Rolando Chucho came free with the goalkeeper in the 3rd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Baldomiro Buinton could save by the left post.

After recieving a nice pass, DiNatale's Evelio Medero tried to score from far away in the 5th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. The audience thought a goal was coming when Rolando Chucho got free with Baldomiro Buinton in the 8th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Erasmo Corderro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Narciso Vasco having to interfere. After 12 played minutes, Claromeco's Virgilio Sidro shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Narciso Vasco 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 Claromeco reached it. After some fancy dribbling in the 18th minute, Erasmo Corderro managed to get in a good position for a shot. Claromeco's supporters rose to their feet, but Erasmo Corderro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Narciso Vasco breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 19 minutes, Gabriel Koldobika mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the DiNatale and the Claromeco players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, DiNatale's Gabriel Koldobika got a free kick in the 19th minute. Angelino Rito blasted a shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Narciso Vasco having to make a save. Angelino Rito took the ball and in the 23 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Narciso Vasco. Narciso Vasco dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Narciso Vasco showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Angel Sancho, who was totally free with the ball in the 26th minute.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Erasmo Corderro in the 45th minute of play forced DiNatale's goalkeeper Narciso Vasco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Claromeco booed when DiNatale was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 47 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fabian Astigar didn't get a good kick on the ball.

In the 55th minute, Gabriel Koldobika hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 58th match minute, Claromeco was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Angel Sancho to maneuver through the defense. 61 minutes into the match, Placido Jago notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Claromeco's Baldomiro Buinton.

When Virgilio Sidro came up free with the goalie in the 72nd minute, the Claromeco fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Virgilio Sidro couldn't finish the play. DiNatale's Narciso Vasco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Virgilio Sidro in the 78th minute of play. Erasmo Corderro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Narciso Vasco tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match was over Claromeco could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than DiNatale throughout the match.
