Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) LACELESTEYBLANCA's Miguel Ramirez started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. LACELESTEYBLANCA's Jorge Chico managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Macos Graciani in the 10 minute of the game. A throw-in in the 13th minute of the game was made by Macos Graciani with Joel Gaona as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. 16 minutes into the match, LACELESTEYBLANCA's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Tafalla came free, but Eugenio Molina reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 22 minutes into the match, Lautaro Mancebo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Eugenio Molina. LACELESTEYBLANCA's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Lautaro Mancebo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 25 minutes into the match, Mexico's goalkeeper Dante Lacasa had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Loco Faso. Dante Lacasa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Miguel Ramirez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. LACELESTEYBLANCA's Eugenio Molina played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joel Gaona in the 45th minute of play. 47 minutes had been played when some careless play by LACELESTEYBLANCA's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Joel Gaona was slow to take the kick. During this time Mexico's players had a chance to rest. It was a well-played corner which Luca Zorita managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Eugenio Molina took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alberto Tafalla, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Dante Lacasa came out of the goal in the 55th minute to try and stop a shot by LACELESTEYBLANCA's Loco Faso. But to his dismay, Loco Faso quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After a defensive mix-up in Mexico's zone, Miguel Ramirez stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dante Lacasa came out of the goal and Miguel Ramirez tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Eugenio Molina showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Joel Gaona in the 63rd minute of the match. In the 65th minute Miguel Ramirez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dante Lacasa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Inocencio Columbo managed to get in a good position for a shot. LACELESTEYBLANCA's supporters rose to their feet, but Inocencio Columbo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dante Lacasa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Luca Zorita sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 82 minutes into the match, LACELESTEYBLANCA's goal looked a bit too open when Facundo Cadaval came free, but Eugenio Molina reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Facundo Cadaval had several of the LACELESTEYBLANCA's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 84 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-2 score and a disappointed Eugenio Molina as he didn't even see the shot coming. After having played for 89 minutes, Miguel Ramirez managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. LACELESTEYBLANCA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Miguel Ramirez was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. LACELESTEYBLANCA's Eugenio Molina proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 95th minute of the match, managed to save LACELESTEYBLANCA from getting a goal against them. The supporters of LACELESTEYBLANCA booed when Mexico was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Luca Zorita didn't get a good kick on the ball.
