Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26,
Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Costante Marron started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. The supporters of Portezuela FC booed when Palitos was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ihazintu Puig didn't get a good kick on the ball. Qwinton Ballin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Costante Marron, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Taurino Cordon charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Taurino Cordon the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Palitos getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Taurino Cordon hit a great ball. Costante Marron fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Qwinton Ballin having to interfere. Ulises Arista might have been able to make a better finish in the 7th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Qwinton Ballin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ulises Arista ran back to his position shaking his head. Florencio Millan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Celio Cerezal's shot from short distance in the 9th minute. Xzaiver Ameztoy hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. Celio Cerezal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Saul Gonzalo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Saul Gonzalo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Florencio Millan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 34 minutes into the game, Celio Cerezal lined in a short shot 1-0 behind a frustrated Florencio Millan. When Saul Gonzalo came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Palitos 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 Saul Gonzalo couldn't finish the play.
Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Celio Cerezal to make the kick off. Florencio Millan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Celio Cerezal in the 53rd minute of the match. Celio Cerezal struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Florencio Millan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Palitos. Qwinton Ballin came out of the goal in the 64th minute to try and stop a shot by Portezuela FC's Costante Marron. But to his dismay, Costante Marron quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. In the 69th minute, Juanito Goite 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. Saul Gonzalo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Portezuela FC's Florencio Millan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Celio Cerezal in the 79th minute of play. In the 86th minute, Celio Cerezal 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. Costante Marron sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ulises Arista's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Qwinton Ballin firmly grabbed it by the left post. 97 minutes into the match, Celio Cerezal had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Florencio Millan. Portezuela FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Celio Cerezal was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Palitos's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
