Spectators: 42 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Rainer Marthaler took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Rainer Marthaler fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marco Day having to interfere.

CA Juventud Unida's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Monty Rogers ran over to the corner to take the kick.
