Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Berart Sarri made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute Lautaro Mancebo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gilberto Lesardo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 6 played minutes Mexico got a freekick which was hit by Facundo Cadaval. Soc. y Dep. Aviación Orán's Gilberto Lesardo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Facundo Cadaval in the 9th minute of play. Gilberto Lesardo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alberto Tafalla in the 15th minute of the match. If Alberto Tafalla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Joel Gaona struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. Gilberto Lesardo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mexico. Gilberto Lesardo didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alberto Tafalla went, in the 22nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. The audience thought a goal was coming when Berart Sarri got free with Dante Lacasa in the 36th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With an all-out effort, Soc. y Dep. Aviación Orán's Dante Lacasa threw himself towards the right post 38 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Stelios Pirovolikos, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Mexico's Dante Lacasa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ciro Bazkoare in the 41st minute of play. Tobias Arias hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 49th minute, Joel Gaona managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Joel Gaona was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gilberto Lesardo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Joel Gaona to make the kick off. In the 53rd minute Benito Eleder 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 a rather tough play, Soc. y Dep. Aviación Orán's Efrain Evis got a free kick in the 60th minute. After having played for 62 minutes, Lautaro Mancebo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mexico's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lautaro Mancebo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Mexico's Dante Lacasa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Berart Sarri in the 64th minute of play. After 68 played minutes Mexico got a freekick which was hit by Leonardo Leoz. With an all-out effort, Mexico's Gilberto Lesardo threw himself towards the right post 71 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Luca Zorita, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 77 minutes into the match, Soc. y Dep. Aviación Orán's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Tafalla came free, but Gilberto Lesardo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Mexico's Lorenzo Cazalla got a free kick in the 78th minute. Benito Eleder sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Soc. y Dep. Aviación Orán's Tadeo Valente was substituted for Cirilo Heli. In the 92nd minute Alberto Tafalla shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gilberto Lesardo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The Soc. y Dep. Aviación Orán fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Mexico were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
