Spectators: 42 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alvaro Raymond started the match with the kick off. Simon Canor kicked well hit freekick during the 2nd minute of the match. 4 minutes into the game, Bernardino Ospin threw the ball into play from the sideline. Despidida AFC's Kajetan Gdowik quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind SAN MARTIN F.C.'s goalkeeper Maximiliano Astudillo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 10 minutes into the match, Alvaro Raymond had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Maximiliano Astudillo. SAN MARTIN F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alvaro Raymond was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Ancho Branca received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute. Maximiliano Astudillo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Alvaro Raymond had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When the match had gone on for 21 minutes, Alvaro Raymond put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Maximiliano Astudillo. Maximiliano Astudillo came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by Despidida AFC's Alvaro Raymond. But to his dismay, Alvaro Raymond quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-4. Alvaro Raymond's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Maximiliano Astudillo read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 28th minute of play. In the 33rd minute the ball was on its way in behind SAN MARTIN F.C.'s goalkeeper Maximiliano Astudillo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Manuel Cordera kicked well hit freekick during the 34th minute of the match. Kajetan Gdowik scored 0-6 in the 39th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Maximiliano Astudillo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 46th minute, Alvaro Raymond left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Despidida AFC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-7. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-7 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Abelardo Roland to make the kick off. Alvaro Raymond fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Maximiliano Astudillo having to interfere.

Maximiliano Astudillo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. SAN MARTIN F.C.'s Maximiliano Astudillo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dinu Ivănescu in the 63rd minute of play. The audience was convinced that Dinu Ivănescu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Maximiliano Astudillo was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. Emiliano Velasco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 65th minute. Maximiliano Astudillo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 69 minutes into the game, Kees Harmsen recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Maximiliano Astudillo. Kees Harmsen showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-9. Gabriel Silban might have been able to make a better finish in the 74th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Maximiliano Astudillo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Gabriel Silban ran back to his position shaking his head. When the match had gone on for 76 minutes, Pastor Tino took a quick shot and it went in 0-10 without a chance for Maximiliano Astudillo to make any attempt to save it. In the 80th minute, Despidida AFC's Dinu Ivănescu ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Maximiliano Astudillo.

Maximiliano Astudillo made an important save on a dangerous shot by Emiliano Velasco in the 87th minute. In the 88th minute Emiliano Velasco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maximiliano Astudillo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

After some careless play in the SAN MARTIN F.C. defense, Dinu Ivănescu kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Maximiliano Astudillo. The SAN MARTIN F.C. fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Maximiliano Astudillo should have stopped the shot.
