Estadio Centeno
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Humberto Pello started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. When Valentin Guifre fell near the penalty area in the 6th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Fiesta!'s protests and gave Valentin Guifre a yellow card for diving instead. In the 11th minute Angelino Crescencio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Victorino Lorenz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cristian Cristofol stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Humberto Pello's shot from short distance in the 14th minute. Victorino Lorenz didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Angelino Crescencio went, in the 16th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Humberto Pello in the 20th minute of play forced Centeno's goalkeeper Cristian Cristofol to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Hristo Papanchev fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Fiesta!'s protests and gave Hristo Papanchev a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Centeno booed when Fiesta! was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hristo Papanchev didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Timoteo Tano came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Centeno 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 Timoteo Tano couldn't finish the play. Evelio Restu kicked well hit freekick during the 26th minute of the match. In the 27th minute Haroldo Ilixo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Victorino Lorenz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Fiesta! getting a freekick after 28 minutes play. Evelio Restu hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 29th minute, Haroldo Ilixo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Centeno's supporters rose to their feet, but Haroldo Ilixo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Victorino Lorenz breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 32 minutes, Timoteo Tano managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Centeno's supporters crossed their fingers, but Timoteo Tano was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Victorino Lorenz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Timoteo Tano, who was totally free with the ball in the 35th minute. In the 36th minute, Humberto Pello got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Cristian Cristofol took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Valentin Guifre, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Victorino Lorenz made a fantastic save in the 44th minute, when Timoteo Tano sent off a good shot on target. When the match clock showed 45 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Humberto Pello sped through Centeno's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Cristian Cristofol. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Timoteo Tano to make the kick off. After 51 played minutes Centeno got a freekick which was hit by Pastor Tabb. Hristo Papanchev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 61st minute Timoteo Tano shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Victorino Lorenz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 64th minute, Ricardo Tabby got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Centeno's Pastor Tabb quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Valentin Guifre, made in the 67th minute of the game. The supporters of Centeno booed when Fiesta! was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eliseo Frederico didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Angelino Crescencio came up free with the goalie in the 78th minute, the Centeno 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 Angelino Crescencio couldn't finish the play. If Humberto Pello had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Fiesta!'s Elpidio Taurino got a good chance for a goal in the 83rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Centeno's defense didn't have a chance, in the 85th minute, when Elpidio Taurino scored to the left of an out of position Cristian Cristofol, making the score, 2-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Angelino Crescencio in the 88th minute of play forced Fiesta!'s goalkeeper Victorino Lorenz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ejvind Skalborg's late challenge caught a Centeno's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ejvind Skalborg helped the player get up and apologised. After 95 minutes, Eliseo Frederico mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Fiesta! and the Centeno players grew even worse after the yellow card. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
