Estadio Tabossi
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Tabossi's Cecilio Piorno started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. The attack was good, but when Venancio Herena in the 3rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Piñalitos's Herminio Castulo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cecilio Piorno in the 8th minute of play. Tabossi were awarded a corner in the 10th minute after Piñalitos's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Anselmo Cortez took the corner. If Federico Euloxu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Tadeo Gentza fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Piñalitos's protests and gave Tadeo Gentza a yellow card for diving instead. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 26th minute of the game. One of Piñalitos:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Tabossi:s goal. In the 28th minute there was a penalty for Tabossi. Anselmo Cortez stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Herminio Castulo. 1-1. After 31 played minutes Piñalitos got a freekick which was hit by Gavino Jakobe. In the 34th minute, Salvador Abecia reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Herminio Castulo. The goal made the score 2-1. Delmar Sustrai made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Federico Euloxu in the 43rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Federico Euloxu in the 47th minute of play forced Tabossi's goalkeeper Delmar Sustrai to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

When Venancio Herena came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the Piñalitos 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 Venancio Herena couldn't finish the play. If Venancio Herena had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Venancio Herena's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Delmar Sustrai was relentless in the 55th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Tabossi's zone, Federico Euloxu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Delmar Sustrai came out of the goal and Federico Euloxu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Federico Euloxu struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Delmar Sustrai didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Piñalitos. In the 69th minute, Orlando Norino hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Salvador Abecia blasted a shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Herminio Castulo having to make a save. After a rather tough play, Tabossi's Anselmo Cortez got a free kick in the 89th minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Arturo Evangelista during the 90th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Arturo Evangelista kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. If Salvador Abecia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. For all the effort they put into the match, the Piñalitos players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Tabossi.
