Estadio Palmas
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mauro Brion made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, Palmas's Eugenio Montes got a free kick in the 4th minute. If Mauro Brion had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Salvador Barros came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Reducción 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 Salvador Barros couldn't finish the play. After having played for 14 minutes, Natalio Platon managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Palmas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Natalio Platon was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Prospero Ferrando dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. In the 64th minute, Eugenio Montes 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.
