Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Froilan Duarte took the kick off in the first half of the match. Froilan Duarte sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 7th minute, Genaro Eudoxio fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. After 20 minutes of play, Escalchi's Dario Venerando made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Celestino Pirmin was left in no man's land by his defense there! The crowd rose to their feet as Froilan Duarte kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Amador Lizar. That made the score 2-1 in the 23 minute of play. Amador Lizar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Froilan Duarte, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Amador Lizar made a fantastic save in the 30th minute, when Genaro Eudoxio sent off a good shot on target. If Froilan Duarte had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 41st minute, Lucas Herensuge made a precise shot to the right of Celestino Pirmin. Tudcun FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-3. Celestino Pirmin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Lucas Herensuge in the 46th minute of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 2-3 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dario Venerando made a kick off. Lucas Herensuge received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Celestino Pirmin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dario Venerando in the 53rd minute of play forced Tudcun FC's goalkeeper Celestino Pirmin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 57th minute, Dario Venerando hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Tudcun FC getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Leo Furman hit a great ball. The supporters of Tudcun FC booed when Escalchi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 66 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dario Venerando didn't get a good kick on the ball. Genaro Eudoxio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Amador Lizar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Escalchi's Dario Venerando got a good chance for a goal in the 71st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 73 played minutes Tudcun FC got a freekick which was hit by Leo Furman. 78 minutes into the game, Genaro Eudoxio was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tudcun FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Escalchi the free kick. Dario Venerando blasted a shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Celestino Pirmin having to make a save. Celestino Pirmin came out of the goal in the 88th minute to try and stop a shot by Escalchi's Lucas Herensuge. But to his dismay, Lucas Herensuge quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-4. In the 91st match minute, Escalchi was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gonzalo Harriet to maneuver through the defense. After a defensive mix-up in Escalchi's zone, Genaro Eudoxio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amador Lizar came out of the goal and Genaro Eudoxio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Amador Lizar didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Genaro Eudoxio went, in the 96th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-4 was the resulting score.
