Estadio Alberti
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ezequiel Frichoso took the kick off in the first half of the match. 3 minutes into the match, REAL MANDRIL F.C.'s goalkeeper Benito Bilbo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Rodolfo Eliazar. If Ulysses Zonta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rodolfo Eliazar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Benito Bilbo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. In the 31st minute, Melquiades Geleberto reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Benito Bilbo. The goal made the score 1-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Melquiades Geleberto stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

Through an outstanding action, after 79 minutes, Eulalio Piorno successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 80th minute, Alberti's Miguel Segio seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Miguel Segio the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Alberti protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Miguel Segio had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The supporters of REAL MANDRIL F.C. booed when Alberti was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Miguel Segio didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Alberti's zone, Ulysses Zonta stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Eulalio Piorno came out of the goal and Ulysses Zonta tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 82 minutes into the game, Aquiles Elivareo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alberti's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave REAL MANDRIL F.C. the free kick. A collision led to Alberti getting a freekick after 83 minutes play.
