Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Vinicio Cordero took the kick off in the first half of the match. Vinicio Cordero's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Glauco Matos read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 5th minute of play. In the 7th minute Norberto Naike shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nicasio Basualdo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Glauco Matos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alfonso Ranolfo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Varela FC's defense didn't have a chance, in the 14th minute, when Vinicio Cordero scored to the left of an out of position Glauco Matos, making the score, 1-0. After some careless play in the MamoX defense, Norberto Naike kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Nicasio Basualdo.

Nicasio Basualdo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alberto Lorencio, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute.

The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Angel Delfino during the 34th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. When the match had been going on for 35 minutes, MamoX's Alfonso Ranolfo got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Glauco Matos. The supporters of Varela FC booed when MamoX was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 40 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sixto Jordy didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Alberto Lorencio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Alberto Lorencio to strike the kick off in the second half. Casimiro Koldobika tried in the game's 52nd match minute to clear up in front of his own goal but it went so bad that he put the ball into the goal to the left of an unhappy Nicasio Basualdo. An annoying self made goal, 2-2. Nicasio Basualdo came out of the goal in the 58th minute to try and stop a shot by Varela FC's Norberto Naike. But to his dismay, Norberto Naike quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-3. Norberto Naike recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 63rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
