Estadio Tahuachi
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Aurelio Asomoza got the match started through his kick off. Teofilio Seral might have been able to make a better finish in the 3rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tomas Porregimon. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Teofilio Seral ran back to his position shaking his head. Jacinto Redondas came free with the goalkeeper in the 7th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Tomas Porregimon could save by the left post. Cuero Celaya struck a weak shot in the 13th minute. Ramirez Herrero didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mulalo FC. 16 minutes into the game, Teofilio Seral cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Tomas Porregimon was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. If Aurelio Asomoza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute.

Aurelio Asomoza recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 36th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Teofilio Seral managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tahuachi's supporters rose to their feet, but Teofilio Seral was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tomas Porregimon breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cuero Celaya received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Ramirez Herrero tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Walter Urriola to make the kick off. If Teofilio Seral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Teofilio Seral in the 60th minute of play forced Mulalo FC's goalkeeper Tomas Porregimon to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The referee gave Murillo Peñacerrada a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Murillo Peñacerrada hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Mulalo FC's zone, Teofilio Seral stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

In the 78th match minute, Mulalo FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Walter Urriola to maneuver through the defense. After 79 played minutes, Tahuachi's Augusto Aneutes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Tomas Porregimon 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 Tahuachi reached it. In the 82nd minute, Cuero Celaya 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.
