Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Vidal Aro kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. After 6 played minutes, Ysabel's Fernando Garza shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Xepe Pita 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 Ysabel reached it. In the 8th minute, Leoverliz Lima 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. Vidal Aro charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Vidal Aro the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Vidal Aro hit a great freekick 9 minutes into the match.

Xepe Pita showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Pico Ladron in the 17th minute of the match. 22 minutes into the game, Diaz Espineiro was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ysabel's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Macas FC the free kick. A collision led to Ysabel getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Diaz Espineiro hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bernardo Marban in the 24th minute of play forced Ysabel's goalkeeper Mendez Belo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Segio Santander received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Mendez Belo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 31st minute, Segundo Pablo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Macas FC's zone, Leoverliz Lima stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Xepe Pita came out of the goal and Leoverliz Lima tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Pico Ladron fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Xepe Pita having to interfere. Segio Santander could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 39th minute of the match, but Mendez Belo made a huge save. If Pico Ladron had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 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.

When Leoverliz Lima came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the Ysabel 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 Leoverliz Lima couldn't finish the play. Bernardo Marban fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mendez Belo having to interfere. Ysabel's Mendez Belo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Segio Santander in the 54th minute of play. Mendez Belo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bernardo Marban, who was totally free with the ball in the 56th minute. If Pico Ladron had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Macas FC's Bernardo Marban got a good chance for a goal in the 78th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Bernardo Marban charged in rather forcefully in the 83rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Bernardo Marban the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
