Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Erubiel Kaxen made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute of the match Victor Eudoxio shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Inocencio Nalo showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Inocencio Nalo didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Erubiel Kaxen went, in the 6th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score.

Inocencio Nalo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Clodoveo Beltxe in the 16th minute of play. A nice corner shot did that Leon Nataniel got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Inocencio Nalo quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. The long shot by Timoteo Janpier in the 25th minute really tested Rodrigo Criston's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Efrain Cordaro during the 30th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Huillapima's Efrain Cordaro got a free kick in the 30th minute. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Erubiel Kaxen in the 37th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Inocencio Nalo prevented the ball from getting in the gole. When Ceferino Malvin fell near the penalty area in the 38th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Huillapima's protests and gave Ceferino Malvin a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Baggle booed when Huillapima was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 38 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ceferino Malvin didn't get a good kick on the ball. 41 minutes into the match, Huillapima's goal looked a bit too open when Clodoveo Beltxe came free, but Inocencio Nalo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Clodoveo Beltxe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Inocencio Nalo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Inocencio Nalo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Clodoveo Beltxe, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Eliseo Arias made a kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Baggle's zone, Eliseo Arias stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rodrigo Criston came out of the goal and Eliseo Arias tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eliseo Arias in the 53rd minute of play forced Baggle's goalkeeper Rodrigo Criston to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. David Refugio charged in rather forcefully in the 53rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed David Refugio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Huillapima booed when Baggle was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 53 match minutes in a wonderful position. David Refugio didn't get a good kick on the ball. Clodoveo Beltxe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 62ndth minute of the game Eliseo Arias who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Baggle's Rodrigo Criston was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 63 minutes into the match, Baggle's goal looked a bit too open when Efrain Cordaro came free, but Rodrigo Criston reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

A very good chance. After having played for 78 minutes, Clodoveo Beltxe managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Martin Nuno hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. Clodoveo Beltxe struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Inocencio Nalo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Baggle.

Victor Eudoxio kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. 96 minutes into the match, Huillapima's goal looked a bit too open when Erubiel Kaxen came free, but Inocencio Nalo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
