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. Javier Nardo started the match with the kick off. Pedro Corderro could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 5th minute of the match, but Rafa Arantes made a huge save. Miguel Camerino kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. In the 11th minute, Pedro Corderro 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. Gogo Lico hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. When Javier Nardo fell near the penalty area in the 14th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Connenhotten Plussen's protests and gave Javier Nardo a yellow card for diving instead. Rafa Arantes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Amancio Berdoi in the 16th minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Gogo Lico during the 18th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Rafa Arantes didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Pedro Corderro went, in the 21st minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. After a rather tough play, Connenhotten Plussen's Miguel Camerino got a free kick in the 29th minute. Amancio Berdoi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Celedonio Calvino charged in rather forcefully in the 33rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Celedonio Calvino the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Connenhotten Plussen getting a freekick after 33 minutes play. Celedonio Calvino hit a great ball. In the 38th minute, Amancio Berdoi reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Rafa Arantes. The goal made the score 2-0. Rafa Arantes showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Amancio Berdoi in the 43rd minute of the match. Pedro Corderro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Pedro Corderro succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 3-0 in the 47th playminute. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Amancio Berdoi was the one to do the kick off. 60 minutes into the match, Connenhotten Plussen's goal looked a bit too open when Pedro Corderro came free, but Rafa Arantes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Celedonio Calvino was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 61 minutes had been played. The supporters of Luisiana booed when Connenhotten Plussen was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. Celedonio Calvino didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rafa Arantes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Pedro Corderro in the 68th minute of play. If Amancio Berdoi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luisiana's Efrain Ferran suffered a concussion after 71 minutes and had to leave the field. After 71 minutes, Paolo Eutor mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Connenhotten Plussen and the Luisiana players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 71st match minute, Connenhotten Plussen was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Paolo Eutor to maneuver through the defense. Rafa Arantes showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Anastasio Franco in the 74th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Connenhotten Plussen's zone, Pedro Corderro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rafa Arantes came out of the goal and Pedro Corderro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 80th minute, Pedro Corderro 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. Anastasio Franco might have been able to make a better finish in the 88th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rafa Arantes. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Anastasio Franco ran back to his position shaking his head. Amancio Berdoi struck a weak shot in the 97th minute. Rafa Arantes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Luisiana. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Luisiana had won after a very even match.
