Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Shantala Puget got the match started through his kick off. Black Rock Shooter's Gumaro Pineda got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The supporters of Zancudo FC booed when Black Rock Shooter was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Esteban Boreyta didn't get a good kick on the ball. When the match had gone on for 11 minutes, Shantala Puget put it in 1-0 from a short distance just to the right of Librado Orcondona. In the 16th minute, Shantala Puget 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. Gorka Fontoria fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Librado Orcondona having to interfere. When Ostots Feijon fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Black Rock Shooter's protests and gave Ostots Feijon a yellow card for diving instead. In the 21st match minute, Black Rock Shooter was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ostots Feijon to maneuver through the defense.

Gorka Fontoria sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 46th minute, Ostots Feijon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rufo Urbieta was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 47th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Gumaro Pineda stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Black Rock Shooter's zone, Gorka Fontoria stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Librado Orcondona came out of the goal and Gorka Fontoria tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match had gone on for 54 minutes, Shantala Puget put it in 3-0 from a short distance just to the right of Librado Orcondona. Librado Orcondona showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gorka Fontoria, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. 64 minutes into the match, Black Rock Shooter's goal looked a bit too open when Shantala Puget came free, but Librado Orcondona reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Shantala Puget's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Librado Orcondona was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. When the match clock showed 70 minutes, the score became 6-0 when Shantala Puget sped through Black Rock Shooter's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Librado Orcondona. Shantala Puget fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Librado Orcondona having to interfere. After 77 played minutes Black Rock Shooter got a freekick which was hit by Esteban Boreyta. After 84 minutes, Lizardi Valero mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Zancudo FC and the Black Rock Shooter players grew even worse after the yellow card. Librado Orcondona came out of the goal in the 89th minute to try and stop a shot by Zancudo FC's Gorka Fontoria. But to his dismay, Gorka Fontoria quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 7-0. Zancudo FC's Shantala Puget managed to work through Black Rock Shooter's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Shantala Puget dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. If Shantala Puget had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
