Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Aivar Kotkas made the kick off which started today's match.

The referee showed Edgardo Peyo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Henderson AFC getting a freekick after 12 minutes play.

In the 22nd minute, Gaston Berasko hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 25 minutes into the game, Alfredo Cordareo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Dionisio Aurre was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Alfredo Cordareo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Dionisio Aurre tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 31st match minute, Henderson AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leandro Ruy to maneuver through the defense. A collision led to Machigasta getting a freekick after 41 minutes play. Alfredo Cordareo hit a great ball.

When Edgardo Peyo was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 44 minutes had been played. Aivar Kotkas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Aivar Kotkas struck a weak shot in the 52nd minute. David Pabla didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Henderson AFC. 55 minutes into the match, Henderson AFC's goalkeeper Dionisio Aurre had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gaston Berasko. In the 58th minute Aivar Kotkas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but David Pabla saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Aivar Kotkas blasted a shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without David Pabla having to make a save. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Aivar Kotkas in the 62nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck David Pabla prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After having played for 66 minutes, Alfredo Cordareo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Machigasta's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alfredo Cordareo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jeremias Efren kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. With a little luck, Henderson AFC's Dionisio Aurre got control of the ball when Gaston Berasko tried to sneak it across the goal line. 79 minutes into the match, Henderson AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Alfredo Cordareo came free, but Dionisio Aurre reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 83rd minute, Gaston Berasko 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. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Aivar Kotkas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Henderson AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Aivar Kotkas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. David Pabla breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Gaston Berasko had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
