Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Inocencio Herauso kicked off to start the match. Antonio Ibar kicked well hit freekick during the 7th minute of the match. Inocencio Herauso received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute.

TZILACATZIN were furious when Eleuterio Maraman was red carded, 12 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 12th minute, one of TZILACATZIN:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for TZILACATZIN. The supporters of Honduras booed when TZILACATZIN was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Antonio Ibar didn't get a good kick on the ball.

One of TZILACATZIN:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Honduras:s goal. Edmundo Espiga shot the penalty kick right outside the post. When Moises Tafalla came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Honduras 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 Moises Tafalla couldn't finish the play. After 32 played minutes TZILACATZIN got a freekick which was hit by Ermegildo Corderall. An unexpectedly hard shot by Edmundo Espiga in the 35th minute of play forced TZILACATZIN's goalkeeper Celso Manni to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Edmundo Espiga to make the kick off. TZILACATZIN's Celso Manni played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Edmundo Espiga in the 52nd minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sebastian Villa got free with Celso Manni in the 61st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Edmundo Espiga took the ball and in the 67 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Celso Manni. Celso Manni dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. If Sebastian Villa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 77 minutes into the game, Modesto Loren was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. TZILACATZIN's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Honduras the free kick.

A sloppy throw-in by Everardo Jerardo in the 90th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Honduras's Christian Sancho. In the 94th minute, Edmundo Espiga got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.
