Estadio Cointa
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Montrell Peñalba kicked off to start the match. In the 5th minute, Esdras Ampuero hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 7 played minutes, JAFTLAND FBC's Bernebe Boiso shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Cruz Cariga 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 JAFTLAND FBC reached it. In the 8th minute, Bernebe Boiso hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 10 minutes into the game, Vedillo Rellan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. JAFTLAND FBC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave SLIM F.C the free kick. After a rather tough play, JAFTLAND FBC's Vedillo Rellan got a free kick in the 10th minute. After 13 played minutes SLIM F.C got a freekick which was hit by Juan-Carlos Posiga. In the 16th minute the ball was on its way in behind SLIM F.C's goalkeeper Cruz Cariga, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. JAFTLAND FBC's Maura Longoria played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Esdras Ampuero in the 21st minute of play. Luzaide Alzolaras 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. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Esdras Ampuero managed to get in a good position for a shot. SLIM F.C's supporters rose to their feet, but Esdras Ampuero was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Maura Longoria breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 35 minutes into the match, SLIM F.C's goalkeeper Cruz Cariga had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Luzaide Alzolaras. If Esdras Ampuero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cris Bojorquez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Maura Longoria having to interfere. SLIM F.C's Esdras Ampuero got a good chance for a goal in the 42nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Esdras Ampuero blasted a shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Maura Longoria having to make a save. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The wind increased when Esdras Ampuero made the kick off in the second half. When Juan-Carlos Posiga was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 56 minutes had been played. Luzaide Alzolaras received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Cruz Cariga tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cruz Cariga showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Luzaide Alzolaras, who was totally free with the ball in the 60th minute. 62 minutes into the game, one of SLIM F.C:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. SLIM F.C's Cruz Cariga played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Luzaide Alzolaras in the 66th minute of play. Basilio Zuñiga fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Maura Longoria having to interfere. Cruz Cariga took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Luzaide Alzolaras, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Montrell Peñalba in the 86th minute of play forced SLIM F.C's goalkeeper Cruz Cariga to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cruz Cariga made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Luzaide Alzolaras in the 97th minute of play.
