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. Vicente Tabby started the match with the kick off. In the 6th minute, Amadeo Panpili hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Baltasar Cibran fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Erasmo Fix having to interfere. Erasmo Fix made an important save on a dangerous shot by Baltasar Cibran in the 14th minute. Ricardo Cheche received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Hernan Beltran tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 22 minutes into the match, Ricardo Cheche had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Hernan Beltran. Caspichango AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ricardo Cheche was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Tobias Arnalt sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

If Vicente Tabby had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 40 minutes, Niceto Etxatxu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Antinaco's supporters crossed their fingers, but Niceto Etxatxu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 45 minutes into the match, Antinaco's Tobias Arnalt sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Hernan Beltran narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ricardo Cheche to strike the kick off in the second half. Tobias Arnalt's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 54thth minute, Hernan Beltran skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Antinaco's Erasmo Fix played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Baltasar Cibran in the 57th minute of play. In the 64th minute Baltasar Cibran shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Erasmo Fix saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hernan Beltran showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ricardo Cheche, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. 77 minutes into the game, Antinaco's Tobias Arnalt nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Hernan Beltran made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. When Baltasar Cibran came up free with the goalie in the 94th minute, the Caspichango AFC 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 Baltasar Cibran couldn't finish the play. Hernan Beltran took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Amado Florinio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The Antinaco players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
