Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mariano Lacasa started the match with the kick off. Matías Domingues took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mariano Lacasa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 10 minutes, Mariano Lacasa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Chile's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mariano Lacasa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. BlacK & BlueS's Matías Domingues played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mariano Lacasa in the 13th minute of play. 16 minutes into the match, Juninho Mineiro dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Thiago Pliego, 1-0. In the 20th minute the ball was on its way in behind BlacK & BlueS's goalkeeper Matías Domingues, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Mariano Lacasa blasted a shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Matías Domingues having to make a save. 30 minutes into the match, Chile's goal looked a bit too open when Tostão Céleste came free, but Thiago Pliego reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match had gone on for 40 minutes, Tostão Céleste took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Thiago Pliego to make any attempt to save it. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Fernandinho Rodrigues to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Natã Dias had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Thiago Pliego. Chile's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Natã Dias was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. If Mariano Lacasa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Chile getting a freekick after 66 minutes play. Jose Manzanedo hit a great ball. In the 69th minute Gabriel Severo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Thiago Pliego saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Francisco Carballar got free with Matías Domingues in the 73rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. A well-hit corner resulted in Guillermo Fontirroig heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. Matías Domingues came out of the goal in the 77th minute to try and stop a shot by Chile's Mariano Lacasa. But to his dismay, Mariano Lacasa quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Orlando Casaus in the 83rd minute of play forced BlacK & BlueS's goalkeeper Matías Domingues to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Matías Domingues made a fantastic save in the 92nd minute, when Orlando Casaus sent off a good shot on target. For all the effort they put into the match, the Chile players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for BlacK & BlueS.
