Spectators: 7545 (Terracing: 5660, Seating: 1735, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Lucas Ariando kicked off to start the match. Ruperto Gilabert recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 12 played minutes Pocho La Pantera Vive got a freekick which was hit by Eugenio Martinez. When the match had gone on for 13 minutes, Lucas Ariando put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Paolo Lope. Ruperto Gilabert fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bernardinho Queirós having to interfere. In the 20th minute Lucas Ariando shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Paolo Lope saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Pablo Giralte had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 25th minute, Pablo Giralte got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Ruperto Gilabert could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 31st minute of the match, but Bernardinho Queirós made a huge save. 32 minutes had been played when some careless play by Inter Miami's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Rodrigo Goito was slow to take the kick. During this time Pocho La Pantera Vive's players had a chance to rest. Luisito Ugaitz tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Bernardinho Queirós. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-2 in the 33rd minute. After 38 minutes of play, Pocho La Pantera Vive's Paulo Marcones made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Bernardinho Queirós was left in no man's land by his defense there! 41 minutes into the game, Pablo Giralte lined in a short shot 3-2 behind a frustrated Bernardinho Queirós. 47 minutes into the match, Inter Miami's goal looked a bit too open when Pablo Giralte came free, but Bernardinho Queirós reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With an all-out effort, Pocho La Pantera Vive's Bernardinho Queirós threw himself towards the right post 49 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Pablo Giralte, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Af the end of the first half the score was 3-2. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Pablo Giralte stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the game, Pocho La Pantera Vive's Pablo Giralte nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Bernardinho Queirós made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-2. Pablo Giralte struck a weak shot in the 55th minute. Bernardinho Queirós didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pocho La Pantera Vive. A collision led to Inter Miami getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Jonas Geleberto hit a great ball. Rodrigo Goito recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 64 played minutes Pocho La Pantera Vive got a freekick which was hit by Paulo Marcones. With his leg Paolo Lope managed to avoid a goal in the 65thth minute, when Inter Miami's Lucas Ariando fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Elpidio Umbruso sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Bernardinho Queirós took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pablo Giralte, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Inter Miami's attentive Severiano Cordero managed to snatch the ball when Elpidio Umbruso made a throw-in in the 76th minute of the game. 77 minutes into the match, Pocho La Pantera Vive's Nunez Sergi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Bernardinho Queirós narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Nunez Sergi fell near the penalty area in the 80th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pocho La Pantera Vive's protests and gave Nunez Sergi a yellow card for diving instead. In the 80th match minute, Pocho La Pantera Vive was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Nunez Sergi to maneuver through the defense. Lucas Ariando fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paolo Lope having to interfere. The supporters of Pocho La Pantera Vive booed when Inter Miami was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Severiano Cordero didn't get a good kick on the ball. Pocho La Pantera Vive were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Inter Miami for a fine match.
