Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Florentino Mansilla kicked off to start the match. If Florentino Mansilla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With an all-out effort, Mallleco Unido's Delfino Calquín threw himself towards the right post 10 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Leoncio Inostroza, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 14th minute, Ismael Jorquera 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. A collision led to Mallleco Unido getting a freekick after 16 minutes play. Florín Canal hit a great ball. Florentino Mansilla sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Florentino Mansilla got free with Delfino Calquín in the 25th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Florentino Mansilla received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 30th minute. Delfino Calquín tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 33 minutes into the game, Victor Valderas was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Llanquihue's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mallleco Unido the free kick. After 33 played minutes Llanquihue got a freekick which was hit by Victor Valderas. 37 minutes into the game, Florentino Mansilla recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Delfino Calquín. Florentino Mansilla showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-0. Leopoldo Jacinto Giagier hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. Mallleco Unido's Leopoldo Jacinto Giagier got a good chance for a goal in the 41st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 43rd minute, Florentino Mansilla managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mallleco Unido's supporters rose to their feet, but Florentino Mansilla was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Delfino Calquín breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Javier Peñafiel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Teodosio Dorr, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 47 minutes into the match, Mallleco Unido's goal looked a bit too open when Anacleto Bermejo came free, but Javier Peñafiel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Anacleto Bermejo made a kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Llanquihue's zone, Cristián Partarrieu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Delfino Calquín came out of the goal and Cristián Partarrieu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Florentino Mansilla received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Delfino Calquín tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mallleco Unido's Javier Peñafiel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aurelius Arteta in the 62nd minute of play. 66 minutes into the match, Ismael Jorquera dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Javier Peñafiel, 2-1. Florentino Mansilla sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Florentino Mansilla recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 79th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Anacleto Bermejo in the 95th minute of play forced Mallleco Unido's goalkeeper Javier Peñafiel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Javier Peñafiel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Anacleto Bermejo in the 96th minute of play.
