Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mario Fernandino started the match with the kick off. CENTAURO's Astor Fernanco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eduardo Fontirroig in the 3rd minute of play. In the 4th minute Eduardo Fontirroig shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Astor Fernanco saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 11 minutes, Julio Chicote mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bolivia and the CENTAURO players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of CENTAURO booed when Bolivia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Julio Chicote didn't get a good kick on the ball. 13 minutes into the game, Francisco Gallo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bolivia's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave CENTAURO the free kick. Francisco Gallo kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Eduardo Fontirroig got free with Astor Fernanco in the 17th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Joshua Miralles made in the 22nd minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by CENTAURO's Roque Medina. When Eduardo Fontirroig came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Bolivia 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 Eduardo Fontirroig couldn't finish the play. Roque Medina kicked well hit freekick during the 26th minute of the match. The crowd rose to their feet as Bolivia's Eduardo Fontirroig slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Astor Fernanco. That made the score 1-0 after 28 minutes of play. Ismael Tejedor made in the 35th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by CENTAURO's Enzo Federigo. The throw-in from Joshua Miralles in the 38th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by CENTAURO's Abel Roland. When Eduardo Fontirroig fell near the penalty area in the 40th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bolivia's protests and gave Eduardo Fontirroig a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of CENTAURO booed when Bolivia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 40 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eduardo Fontirroig didn't get a good kick on the ball. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Rodolfo Tuste was the one to do the kick off. A collision led to Bolivia getting a freekick after 52 minutes play. Julio Chicote hit a great ball. Abel Roland was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 53rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 63 minutes into the game, Joshua Miralles threw the ball into play from the sideline. CENTAURO's Abel Roland quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Joshua Miralles got a throw-in 72 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Mario Fernandino. A sloppy throw-in by Ismael Tejedor in the 74th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by CENTAURO's Enzo Federigo. Eduardo Fontirroig received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 77th minute. Astor Fernanco tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 84th minute of the game Joshua Miralles made a throw-in which Mario Fernandino played forward. In the 88th minute the ball was on its way in behind CENTAURO's goalkeeper Astor Fernanco, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in CENTAURO's zone, Julio Chicote stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Astor Fernanco came out of the goal and Julio Chicote tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. CENTAURO's Abel Roland quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Joshua Miralles, made in the 95th minute of the game. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Bolivia had played much better football throughout.
