Estadio Punco
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, 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. Herminio Santo started the match with the kick off. If Honorato Igon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 8 minutes into the match, Hipatía AFC's goalkeeper Isidoro Etxahun had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abel Oidor.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Isidoro Etxahun prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 17th minute, Abel Oidor 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. 35 minutes into the match, Fabian Soter notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Punco's Amador Dei. Amador Dei was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Flavio Fresco to make the kick off. Abel Oidor fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Isidoro Etxahun having to interfere. Hipatía AFC's Isidoro Etxahun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Flavio Fresco in the 55th minute of play. Fabian Soter recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 56th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Abel Oidor sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Amador Dei made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fabian Soter in the 62nd minute of play. When Severino Javiar fell near the penalty area in the 66th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hipatía AFC's protests and gave Severino Javiar a yellow card for diving instead. After 66 played minutes Hipatía AFC got a freekick which was hit by Severino Javiar. The audience was convinced that Abel Oidor's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Isidoro Etxahun was relentless in the 68th minute of the game. Isidoro Etxahun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Flavio Fresco in the 71st minute of play. If Abel Oidor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute.

Herminio Santo ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 82nd minute, Hipatía AFC's Fabian Soter ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Amador Dei.
