Paraná
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Fabio Tabby kicked off to start the match. Esteve Quinito showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Adrian Gartzea in the 5th minute of the match. Adrian Gartzea fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Esteve Quinito having to interfere. Cecilio Katia struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Esteve Quinito didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Paraná. 10 minutes into the match, Obraje's goal looked a bit too open when Fabio Tabby came free, but Esteve Quinito reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Timoteo Llin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aureliano Min having to interfere. 16 minutes into the match, Paraná's goal looked a bit too open when Leopoldo Lartaun came free, but Aureliano Min reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 20 minutes, Leopoldo Lartaun managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Obraje's supporters crossed their fingers, but Leopoldo Lartaun was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Leandro Ospetsu took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 26th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Esteve Quinito. Obraje's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After 28 played minutes Paraná got a freekick which was hit by Fabio Tabby. When Timoteo Llin came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Obraje 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 Timoteo Llin couldn't finish the play. Paraná's Aureliano Min played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Leopoldo Lartaun in the 36th minute of play. Adrian Gartzea could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 42nd minute of the match, but Esteve Quinito made a huge save. After the first half Obraje were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Leopoldo Lartaun to make the kick off. Aureliano Min made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Leopoldo Lartaun in the 52nd minute of play. In the 53rd match minute, Paraná was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cecilio Katia to maneuver through the defense. In the 57th minute the ball was on its way in behind Paraná's goalkeeper Aureliano Min, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 73rd minute of the match Emanuel Esiquio shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Aureliano Min showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After a rather tough play, Obraje's Bonifacio Aztore got a free kick in the 77th minute. Esteve Quinito made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fabio Tabby in the 78th minute of play. 80 minutes into the match, Obraje's goal looked a bit too open when Fabio Tabby came free, but Esteve Quinito reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Esteve Quinito took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fabio Tabby, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Esteve Quinito came out of the goal in the 89th minute to try and stop a shot by Paraná's Fabio Tabby. But to his dismay, Fabio Tabby quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. Lucio Oihenarte took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 94th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Esteve Quinito. Obraje's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.
