Estadio Anjullan
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Santiago Caitano kicked off to start the match. Erasmo Mel came out of the goal in the 3rd minute to try and stop a shot by Cotita's Santos Bide. But to his dismay, Santos Bide quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Cotita's Santos Bide got a good chance for a goal in the 7th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jorge Boniel's late challenge caught a Cotita's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jorge Boniel helped the player get up and apologised. After a defensive mix-up in Cotita's zone, Wilfredo Natal stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Godfredo Ekain came out of the goal and Wilfredo Natal tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Santiago Caitano came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Cotita 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 Santiago Caitano couldn't finish the play. Santiago Caitano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jorge Boniel kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. If Santiago Caitano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 31 minutes into the match, Wilfredo Natal had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Godfredo Ekain. Cotita's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Wilfredo Natal was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. After 35 minutes, Gonzalo Amato mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Cotita and the Dorados de Sinaloa players grew even worse after the yellow card. 40 minutes into the game, Wilfredo Natal recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Godfredo Ekain. Wilfredo Natal showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 3-1. Antonio Bartolome fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Godfredo Ekain having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-1 at half-time.

The wind increased when Wilfredo Natal made the kick off in the second half.

Antonio Bartolome sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 65 minutes into the match, Dorados de Sinaloa's Wilfredo Natal sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Godfredo Ekain narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Godfredo Ekain took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Wilfredo Natal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 70 minutes into the match, Cotita's goal looked a bit too open when Antonio Bartolome came free, but Godfredo Ekain reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 75th minute the ball was on its way in behind Dorados de Sinaloa's goalkeeper Erasmo Mel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Santos Bide struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Erasmo Mel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cotita. 80 minutes into the match, Cotita's goal looked a bit too open when Wilfredo Natal came free, but Godfredo Ekain reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Godfredo Ekain made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Wilfredo Natal in the 80th minute of play. If Antonio Bartolome had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Cotita's Matias Ebardo got a free kick in the 83rd minute. If Wilfredo Natal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The supporters of Cotita booed when Dorados de Sinaloa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Raimundo Lertxun didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a little luck, Dorados de Sinaloa's Erasmo Mel got control of the ball when Gonzalo Amato tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 90th minute, Wilfredo Natal made a precise shot to the right of Godfredo Ekain. Cotita's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 6-1. 95 minutes into the game, Esteve Procopio was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Dorados de Sinaloa's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Cotita the free kick. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Dorados de Sinaloa fully deserved thier win.
