Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cortez Mirabal kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the game, Omar Yurrita recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Daniel Confercin. Omar Yurrita showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. The audience thought a goal was coming when Jaramillo Abreu got free with Daniel Confercin in the 8th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Daniel Confercin was a little too slow when Cortez Mirabal got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 10th minute. The score was now 2-0. Campozano's Rafael Zarain played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zambrano Lanis in the 20th minute of play. Daniel Confercin made a fantastic save in the 22nd minute, when Jaramillo Abreu sent off a good shot on target. Lucas Luengo kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. Alfredo Zamarripa's late challenge caught a Campozano's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alfredo Zamarripa helped the player get up and apologised. Cortez Mirabal's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Daniel Confercin read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 29th minute of play. After 30 minutes of play, Guablit's Zambrano Lanis made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rafael Zarain was left in no man's land by his defense there! 36 minutes into the match, Campozano's goal looked a bit too open when Jerson Tuo came free, but Rafael Zarain reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Cortez Mirabal's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Daniel Confercin was relentless in the 37th minute of the game. Jerson Tuo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Rafael Zarain tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Campozano's Leonides Breton suffered a sore thigh after 45 minutes and couldn't finish the game. After 45 minutes of play Guablit's Alfredo Zamarripa was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. After 47 played minutes Guablit got a freekick which was hit by Alfredo Zamarripa. Guablit's defense didn't have a chance, in the 48th minute, when Jaramillo Abreu scored to the left of an out of position Daniel Confercin, making the score, 3-1. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Zambrano Lanis was the one to do the kick off. Rafael Zarain made an important save on a dangerous shot by Zambrano Lanis in the 61st minute. In the 63rd minute, Jaramillo Abreu made a precise shot to the right of Daniel Confercin. Guablit's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 4-1. After a defensive mix-up in Guablit's zone, Omar Yurrita stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Daniel Confercin came out of the goal and Omar Yurrita tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Guablit's Yépez Cuaron got a free kick in the 69th minute. Guerrero Ocouto kicked well hit freekick during the 71st minute of the match. Ugaitz Villaseñor fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafael Zarain having to interfere. Omar Yurrita charged in rather forcefully in the 76th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Omar Yurrita the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After having played for 83 minutes, Zambrano Lanis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Guablit's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zambrano Lanis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 85 minutes into the match, Campozano's goalkeeper Rafael Zarain had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Zambrano Lanis. After a rather tough play, Campozano's Cortez Mirabal got a free kick in the 88th minute. Zambrano Lanis kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match.

The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Campozano had won after a very even match.
