Spectators: 7491 (Terracing: 5619, Seating: 1723, VIP seats: 149) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jacobo Neto took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rdth minute of the game Esteban Silbestre who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC La Tenes Adentro's Gualterio Pancho was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 6th minute Jacobo Neto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Albino Arnalt saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Albino Arnalt made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jacobo Neto in the 8th minute of play. Gualterio Pancho came out of the goal in the 10th minute to try and stop a shot by GMKE F.C's Esteban Silbestre. But to his dismay, Esteban Silbestre quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. The crowd rose to their feet as Jacobo Neto kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Albino Arnalt. That made the score 1-1 in the 13 minute of play. 17 minutes into the match, GMKE F.C's goalkeeper Albino Arnalt had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Romeo Nevada. Victor James charged in rather forcefully in the 18th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Victor James the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 18th minute, Victor James hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 20 minutes of play, FC La Tenes Adentro's Prudencio Henry made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Albino Arnalt was left in no man's land by his defense there! After some careless play in the FC La Tenes Adentro defense, Victor James kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gualterio Pancho. The FC La Tenes Adentro fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gualterio Pancho should have stopped the shot. With an all-out effort, FC La Tenes Adentro's Albino Arnalt threw himself towards the right post 29 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Jacobo Neto, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Esteban Silbestre might have been able to make a better finish in the 40th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Gualterio Pancho. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Esteban Silbestre ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jacobo Neto in the 42nd minute of play forced GMKE F.C's goalkeeper Albino Arnalt to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Albino Arnalt showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Everardo Polentzi in the 45th minute of the match. Jairo Maties took the ball and in the 47 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gualterio Pancho. Gualterio Pancho dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-3. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 2-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Esteban Silbestre to make the kick off. Benito Sayveon hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. If Esteban Silbestre had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute.

A collision led to GMKE F.C getting a freekick after 62 minutes play. Cecilio Ur hit a great ball.

In the 72nd match minute, GMKE F.C was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cecilio Ur to maneuver through the defense.

Albino Arnalt showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jacobo Neto, who was totally free with the ball in the 80th minute. Victor James got his second yellow card in the match during the 83rd minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. The supporters of FC La Tenes Adentro booed when GMKE F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 84 match minutes in a wonderful position. Victor James didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Felix Chus fell near the penalty area in the 85th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC La Tenes Adentro's protests and gave Felix Chus a yellow card for diving instead. Felix Chus hit a great freekick 85 minutes into the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Esteban Silbestre in the 87th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Gualterio Pancho saved FC La Tenes Adentro from getting behind. Gualterio Pancho was out of position in the 91 minute of play, and Esteban Silbestre capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Esteban Silbestre really showed his touch with that goal: 3-4. With a little luck, FC La Tenes Adentro's Gualterio Pancho got control of the ball when Esteban Silbestre tried to sneak it across the goal line.
