Estadio Golondrina
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. Rene Ovando started the match with the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Pontaut's zone, Daniel Bernebe stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Eriberto Argoitz came out of the goal and Daniel Bernebe tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Robustiano Gorosti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ambrosio Selmo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 9th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Rene Ovando in the 12th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Haroldo Orlin prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Uriel Carlomagno kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match.

Gerardo Fagildo hit a great freekick 33 minutes into the match. In the 35th minute Emanuel Piarres managed to get in a great position but fired away a sharp shot that went outside the goal on the goalie's right hand side. It could just as well have been a goal.

Rene Ovando struck a weak shot in the 48th minute. Haroldo Orlin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pontaut.
