Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Salvador Verano kicked off to start the match. Qwinton Galguera kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. After 9 played minutes Fcbarcelona got a freekick which was hit by Qwinton Galguera. Maipaha's Urbano Veguri got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Macias Manzanedo made an important save on a dangerous shot by Flavio Chandeiro in the 16th minute. 19 minutes into the match, Urbano Veguri dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Macias Manzanedo, 1-0. The supporters of Maipaha booed when Fcbarcelona was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Haitz Ruidio didn't get a good kick on the ball. Salvidor Perramon didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Salvador Verano went, in the 28th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Salvidor Perramon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Leobardo Gallerreta in the 35th minute of the match. 36 minutes into the match, Laurentzi Navarro had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Salvidor Perramon. Maipaha's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Laurentzi Navarro was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Macias Manzanedo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Efraim Argandoña in the 40th minute of play. Leobardo Gallerreta sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After the first half Fcbarcelona were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Urbano Veguri to make the kick off. Laurentzi Navarro might have been able to make a better finish in the 52nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Salvidor Perramon. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Laurentzi Navarro ran back to his position shaking his head. Macias Manzanedo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fernandez Huemen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 70 minutes, Laurentzi Navarro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Fcbarcelona's supporters crossed their fingers, but Laurentzi Navarro 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 77th match minute, Fcbarcelona was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Delmar Mor to maneuver through the defense. If Laurentzi Navarro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 90 minutes into the match, Fcbarcelona's goal looked a bit too open when Efraim Argandoña came free, but Macias Manzanedo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 92 minutes into the game, Maipaha's Efraim Argandoña nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Macias Manzanedo made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-2. For all the effort they put into the match, the Fcbarcelona players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Maipaha.
