Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Lisandro Caride got free with Claris Cao in the 8th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

Claris Cao didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Joanico. Angelo Tejeido showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Pere Hermosilla in the 85th minute of the match. After 86 minutes, Edgardo Maquilanda mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Joanico and the Polonio players grew even worse after the yellow card. Edgardo Maquilanda kicked well hit freekick during the 86th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Polonio's zone, Lisandro Caride stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
