Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Rob Khomane took the kick off in the first half of the match. Theuns's Nils-Emil Hermansson proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 5th minute of the match, managed to save Theuns from getting a goal against them. Nils-Emil Hermansson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Maxi Rodríguez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 12th minute, but Nils-Emil Hermansson got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving Theuns hanging dry this time. Atlético y Tiro Rqta were awarded a corner in the 13th minute after Theuns's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Severino Benino took the corner. A collision led to Theuns getting a freekick after 14 minutes play. Rob Khomane hit a great ball. Thanks to some nice moves Juli Álvarez could shoot a difficult shot in the 17th minute, which Nils-Emil Hermansson however easily saved by the left post. 18 minutes had been played when some careless play by Theuns's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Severino Benino was slow to take the kick. During this time Atlético y Tiro Rqta's players had a chance to rest. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Rafael Madima during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Theuns's Rafael Madima got a free kick in the 19th minute. After 20 played minutes, Atlético y Tiro Rqta's Severino Benino shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Nils-Emil Hermansson came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Atlético y Tiro Rqta reached it. Theuns's Nils-Emil Hermansson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Severino Benino in the 21st minute of play.

In the 27th minute, Juli Álvarez hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Joseph Inguana received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Abelardo Berenguer tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nils-Emil Hermansson didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Hu Fei Hai went, in the 32nd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. 35 minutes into the game, Maxi Rodríguez recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Nils-Emil Hermansson.

After some fancy dribbling in the 44th minute, Hoadley Fredericks managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Abelardo Berenguer breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 46th minute, Severino Benino ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nils-Emil Hermansson was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Severino Benino was the one to do the kick off. After 51 played minutes Atlético y Tiro Rqta got a freekick which was hit by Juli Álvarez. When Severino Benino came up free with the goalie in the 54th minute, the Atlético y Tiro Rqta 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 Severino Benino couldn't finish the play. After 60 minutes of play, Theuns's Hoadley Fredericks made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Abelardo Berenguer was left in no man's land by his defense there! Atlético y Tiro Rqta's Erubiel Munio was substituted for Juli Álvarez. Atlético y Tiro Rqta's Erubiel Munio was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Nils-Emil Hermansson in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 71st minute Maxi Rodríguez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nils-Emil Hermansson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nils-Emil Hermansson came out of the goal in the 73rd minute to try and stop a shot by Atlético y Tiro Rqta's Maxi Rodríguez. But to his dismay, Maxi Rodríguez quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-1. Hoadley Fredericks's late challenge caught a Atlético y Tiro Rqta's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hoadley Fredericks helped the player get up and apologised. Erubiel Munio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Nils-Emil Hermansson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
