Estadio Unión
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. Federico Salomone started the match with the kick off. Maximino Sanchez hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. The supporters of Calaza AFC booed when Unión AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Federico Salomone didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Calaza AFC's Constantino Lucian in the 7th minute got a chance for a shot 7th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Unión AFC's goalie prevented a goal. Constantino Lucian sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Constantino Lucian scored 0-1 in the 24th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Israel Gai, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Calaza AFC's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Federico Salomone 31 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-1. Israel Gai took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Constantino Lucian, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, Calaza AFC's Benicio Abecia got a free kick in the 40th minute. Israel Gai showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gogo Naelio, who was totally free with the ball in the 44th minute. A collision led to Unión AFC getting a freekick after 45 minutes play. Tomás Dalmau hit a great ball. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Gogo Naelio made the kick off in the second half. Tomás Dalmau took the ball and in the 56 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Virgilio Matia. Virgilio Matia dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. 60 minutes into the match, Calaza AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Tomás Dalmau came free, but Virgilio Matia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Virgilio Matia showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tomás Dalmau, who was totally free with the ball in the 72nd minute. In the 73rd minute Tomás Dalmau shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Virgilio Matia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 75th minute, Maximino Sanchez hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Virgilio Matia made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Federico Salomone in the 77th minute of play. If Constantino Lucian had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 88 minutes into the match, Unión AFC's goalkeeper Israel Gai had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Constantino Lucian. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel.
