Estadio Trinchera
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Filiberto Ezkerra kicked off to start the match. Trinchera FC's Filiberto Ezkerra got a good chance for a goal in the 13th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 25th minute Matias Oidor shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sergio Aimar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Felipe Bieito had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Emiliano Luke got free with Lino Lalla in the 36th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 38th minute, Matias Oidor got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 41st minute, Matias Oidor got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. When Matias Oidor came up free with the goalie in the 48th minute, the Seeber 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 Matias Oidor couldn't finish the play. The Trinchera FC players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Seeber AFC were winning 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Matias Oidor to make the kick off. Sergio Aimar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Matias Oidor, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. 55 minutes into the match, Trinchera FC's Filiberto Ezkerra sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lino Lalla narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Emiliano Luke's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Lino Lalla read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 59th minute of play. In the 60th minute, Filiberto Ezkerra made a precise shot to the right of Lino Lalla. Seeber AFC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. Seeber AFC's Lino Lalla played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Filiberto Ezkerra in the 64th minute of play. In the 67th minute, Filiberto Ezkerra left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Trinchera FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. In the 74th minute Emiliano Luke shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lino Lalla saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lino Lalla made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Filiberto Ezkerra in the 77th minute of play. After 80 minutes of play, Trinchera FC's Emiliano Luke made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Lino Lalla was left in no man's land by his defense there! Felipe Bieito might have been able to make a better finish in the 91st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sergio Aimar. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Felipe Bieito ran back to his position shaking his head. Rigoberto Omero charged in rather forcefully in the 92nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Rigoberto Omero the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Trinchera FC booed when Seeber AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 93 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rigoberto Omero didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Filiberto Ezkerra in the 96th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Lino Lalla saved Seeber AFC from getting behind. The home crowd let out a huge roar when the referee blew for the end of the game. Trinchera FC were victorious despite being under pressure from Seeber AFC for much of the match.
