Estadio Caitaco
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Fabian Dolfo kicked off to start the match. Ranquile FC's Marciano Oliveiro got a good chance for a goal in the 4th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Fabian Dolfo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafael Orlondon having to interfere. Marciano Oliveiro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Rafael Orlondon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 26 minutes into the game, Agustin Aimar was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Caitaco FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ranquile FC the free kick. Rafael Orlondon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Marciano Oliveiro in the 38th minute of the match. In the 41st minute, Marciano Oliveiro ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Rafael Orlondon was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Jonathan Sugoi stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute Godfredo Jenaro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rafael Orlondon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fabian Pinczewski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jonathan Sugoi in the 65th minute of play. After 67 played minutes, Ranquile FC's Uriel Paskal shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Rafael Orlondon came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Ranquile FC reached it. Jacinto Natal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Rafael Orlondon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Caitaco FC's zone, Marciano Oliveiro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rafael Orlondon came out of the goal and Marciano Oliveiro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Marciano Oliveiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Fabian Dolfo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafael Orlondon having to interfere. Rafael Orlondon didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 83rd minute, which inside left pole to 1-4. After 88 minutes of play, Ranquile FC's Marciano Oliveiro made it 1-5 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rafael Orlondon was left in no man's land by his defense there! The Caitaco FC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Ranquile FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
