Estadio Arizona
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ciriaco Feliu was the one to do the kick off. Arizona AFC's Honorio Baristo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 53rd minute of the match, managed to save Arizona AFC from getting a goal against them. The audience thought a goal was coming when Fernan Tolino got free with Honorio Baristo in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Celestino Gustau had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Honorio Baristo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ubaldo Luke in the 66th minute of the match. Fausto Llin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ciriaco Feliu in the 69th minute of the match. Celestino Gustau struck a weak shot in the 70th minute. Fausto Llin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arizona AFC. The audience was convinced that Celestino Gustau's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Fausto Llin was relentless in the 73rd minute of the game. In the 76th minute, Ciriaco Feliu made a precise shot to the right of Fausto Llin. Pareditas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. 80 minutes into the match, Arizona AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Ubaldo Luke came free, but Honorio Baristo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Teodoro Belmiro fell near the penalty area in the 82nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Arizona AFC's protests and gave Teodoro Belmiro a yellow card for diving instead. In the 84th minute Cristian Patrido managed to get in a great position but fired away a sharp shot that went outside the goal on the goalie's right hand side. It could just as well have been a goal. If Ciriaco Feliu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
