Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Liher Pantojas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gergori Tagle in the 7th minute of play. 8 minutes into the match, Aaron Quexada had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Liher Pantojas. Cardozo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Aaron Quexada was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Gerardo Pons recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Gerardo Pons fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Orkatz Carcedo having to interfere. Liher Pantojas showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aaron Quexada, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. When Zemario Mauleon fell near the penalty area in the 18th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Cardozo's protests and gave Zemario Mauleon a yellow card for diving instead. In the 20th minute there was a penalty for Orgoroso AFC. Cheche Rabanera stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Liher Pantojas. 0-2. 22 minutes into the match, Orgoroso AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Weterio Lugardo came free, but Orkatz Carcedo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Weterio Lugardo in the 24th minute of play forced Orgoroso AFC's goalkeeper Orkatz Carcedo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 27 minutes, Aaron Quexada managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Orgoroso AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aaron Quexada was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 29th minute Weterio Lugardo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Orkatz Carcedo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Orgoroso AFC's Orkatz Carcedo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 32nd minute of the match, managed to save Orgoroso AFC from getting a goal against them. In the 44th minute the ball was on its way in behind Orgoroso AFC's goalkeeper Orkatz Carcedo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Gergori Tagle sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Gerardo Pons had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 49th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The wind increased when Weterio Lugardo made the kick off in the second half. When Aaron Quexada came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Orgoroso AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Aaron Quexada couldn't finish the play. If Aaron Quexada had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gergori Tagle struck a weak shot in the 67th minute. Liher Pantojas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Orgoroso AFC. In the 70th minute, Cheche Rabanera sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Cardozo's Liher Pantojas didn't even have to move. Veremundo Zaton kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. In the 74th minute of the match Cidro Burgoa sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Orkatz Carcedo skillfully saved the ball. Orkatz Carcedo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cidro Burgoa in the 90th minute of the match. In the 96th minute, Lazcano Rubian hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Orgoroso AFC played a much better game than Cardozo and deserved their victory. The Cardozo players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
