Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Joel Caraduje started the match with the kick off. Joel Caraduje received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Oswaldo Folch came out and tried to block the shot, but Joel Caraduje slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 5th minute. Joel Caraduje received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Oswaldo Folch tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 13th minute, Joel Caraduje fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Oswaldo Folch, passed just outside the right post. Rodrigo Ufret's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 19thth minute, Oswaldo Folch skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Joel Caraduje sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 22 minutes, Zacarias Borizar mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Nazon and the Samana players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Nazon getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Zacarias Borizar hit a great ball. Clemente Bispo took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 26th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Ulizes Sota. Nazon's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Xarles Niño struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Ulizes Sota didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Samana. Ulizes Sota showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Domingo Cadenas in the 30th minute of the match. Domingo Cadenas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 38 played minutes Nazon got a freekick which was hit by Manuel Legazpi. Samana's Victoriano Trevino couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 39th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Nazon. Ulizes Sota made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Domingo Cadenas in the 43rd minute of play. Joel Caraduje fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Oswaldo Folch having to interfere. 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 1-0.

The wind increased when Domingo Cadenas made the kick off in the second half. Samana's Oswaldo Folch played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joel Caraduje in the 53rd minute of play. 1-1 became the score in the 56th minute when Domingo Cadenas elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. When Domingo Cadenas came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Samana 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 Domingo Cadenas couldn't finish the play. Oswaldo Folch showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joel Caraduje, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rodrigo Ufret in the 64th minute of play forced Samana's goalkeeper Oswaldo Folch to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 66th minute Nazon were awarded a corner. Zadornin Vado went to the cornerflag to take it. In the 75th minute, Rodrigo Ufret 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. After a rather tough play, Nazon's Manuel Legazpi got a free kick in the 81st minute. Xarles Niño did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-2 to the left of a surprised Ulizes Sota 82 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 87th minute, Azconzábal Rodas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Samana's supporters rose to their feet, but Azconzábal Rodas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ulizes Sota breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Domingo Cadenas's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ulizes Sota read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 89th minute of play. Xarles Niño could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 91st minute of the match, but Ulizes Sota made a huge save. 92 minutes into the match, Samana's goal looked a bit too open when Rodrigo Ufret came free, but Oswaldo Folch reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rodrigo Ufret received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Oswaldo Folch tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The Samana players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
