Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Romulo Nicholas made the kick off which started today's match. When Romulo Nicholas came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Bochahuasi 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 Romulo Nicholas couldn't finish the play. After having played for 8 minutes, Emiliano Xabat managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Boeuf's supporters crossed their fingers, but Emiliano Xabat was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dario Eguen charged in rather forcefully in the 10th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Dario Eguen the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Boeuf booed when Bochahuasi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dario Eguen didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dario Bermudo was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 12th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Omar Sugar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Romulo Nicholas in the 16th minute of play forced Boeuf's goalkeeper Ceferino Anaya to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 17 minutes, Zeledon Iratze managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bochahuasi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zeledon Iratze was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ceferino Anaya stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Zeledon Iratze's shot from short distance in the 19th minute. Romulo Nicholas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Ceferino Anaya tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 24 minutes into the match, Boeuf's goal looked a bit too open when Romulo Nicholas came free, but Ceferino Anaya reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 26 minutes had been played when some careless play by Boeuf's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Domingo Casado was slow to take the kick. During this time Bochahuasi's players had a chance to rest. Bochahuasi's Domingo Casado was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ceferino Anaya in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in.

In the 56th minute, Zeledon Iratze left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bochahuasi fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. If Zeledon Iratze had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Ceferino Anaya showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Dario Eguen, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. After a defensive mix-up in Bochahuasi's zone, Lázaro Rios stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dario Bermudo came out of the goal and Lázaro Rios tried to chip the ball over his head.
