Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ramon Chago started the match with the kick off. Hugo Neron fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Maximino Eufrasio having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in -SOPHROSYNE-'s zone, Felipe Olo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Maximino Eufrasio came out of the goal and Felipe Olo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Evaristo Jobo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ramon Chago in the 9th minute of the match.

Pedro Udalaitz hit a great ball. Hugo Neron scored 0-1 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Maximino Eufrasio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 30 minutes, Alvaro Fertus mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the -SOPHROSYNE- and the Qe Lindo Dia Che players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, -SOPHROSYNE-'s Alvaro Fertus got a free kick in the 30th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hugo Neron in the 31st minute of play forced -SOPHROSYNE-'s goalkeeper Maximino Eufrasio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The corner ended in Braulio Montrel almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but -SOPHROSYNE-'s Maximino Eufrasio did a great save. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Hugo Neron in the 43rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Maximino Eufrasio saved -SOPHROSYNE- from getting behind. Omar Galeno might have been able to make a better finish in the 45th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Evaristo Jobo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Omar Galeno ran back to his position shaking his head. Qe Lindo Dia Che's Hugo Neron got a good chance for a goal in the 47th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
