Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Francisco Lano made the kick off which started today's match. Francisco Lano received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Bernardino Sanduru tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Taquello AFC's Lino Lonzo got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jorge Eladio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bernardino Sanduru having to interfere. Paulo Lico who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 21stth minute tested the skills of Godfredo Cisco when he managed to save the team from getting behind. An unexpected shot in the 24th minute by Paulo Lico got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After 25 minutes, Maximiliano Quirze mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Taquello AFC and the Raco AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 25 played minutes Taquello AFC got a freekick which was hit by Maximiliano Quirze. When Jorge Eladio came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Raco AFC 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 Jorge Eladio couldn't finish the play. If Jorge Eladio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Paulo Lico fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Godfredo Cisco having to interfere. Lino Lonzo struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Godfredo Cisco didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Taquello AFC. If Paulo Lico had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The wind increased when Lino Lonzo made the kick off in the second half. Taquello AFC's Maximiliano Quirze was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Godfredo Cisco in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Denis Teofilio's late challenge caught a Raco AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Denis Teofilio helped the player get up and apologised. After 65 played minutes Taquello AFC got a freekick which was hit by Denis Teofilio. The corner ended in Guido Palben almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Taquello AFC's Bernardino Sanduru did a great save. Lino Lonzo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After a rather tough play, Taquello AFC's Rodolfo Feo got a free kick in the 73rd minute. After having played for 76 minutes, Jorge Eladio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Raco AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jorge Eladio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Taquello AFC's Rodolfo Feo got a free kick in the 91st minute. Paulo Lico's late challenge caught a Raco AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.
