Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Charro Barbari got the match started through his kick off. When Joaquin Gomez came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Manglar 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 Joaquin Gomez couldn't finish the play. In the 9th minute, Joaquin Gomez hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Xerardo Iza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute.

Foro Medrano was out of position in the 17 minute of play, and Charro Barbari capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Charro Barbari really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. After having played for 20 minutes, Vermudo Cuevas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. LaIlusion's supporters crossed their fingers, but Vermudo Cuevas 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 27th minute Xerardo Iza shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Odol Acosta saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Vermudo Cuevas struck a weak shot in the 31st minute. Odol Acosta didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for LaIlusion.

When LaIlusion's Xerardo Iza in the 46th minute got a chance for a shot 46th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Manglar's goalie prevented a goal. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Xerardo Iza made a kick off. After 58 played minutes, Manglar's Ernesto Robres shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Foro Medrano came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Manglar reached it. When Paulino Umbria fell near the penalty area in the 60th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored LaIlusion's protests and gave Paulino Umbria a yellow card for diving instead. After 60 played minutes LaIlusion got a freekick which was hit by Paulino Umbria.
