Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Balendín Barril took the kick off in the first half of the match. Fabio Manns showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Balendín Barril in the 4th minute of the match. Fabio Manns took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Balendín Barril, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

In the 12th minute, Daniel Bunster 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. 14 minutes into the game, Victor Rojas cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1.

Balendín Barril took the ball and in the 19 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Fabio Manns.

Saracota's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Pomuyeto the free kick. Hernán Falcone kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. Victor Rojas struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Fabio Manns didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Saracota.
