Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Marciano Enetz started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Dalmacio Osorio had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rogelio Elodio. Coni's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Dalmacio Osorio was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. The audience thought a goal was coming when Narciso Santiago got free with Adam Claudiescu in the 6th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Coni's Narciso Santiago in the 7th minute got a chance for a shot 7th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Igarzábal's goalie prevented a goal.

Rogelio Elodio was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience was convinced that Efrain Silbestre's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Rogelio Elodio was relentless in the 35th minute of the game.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Efrain Silbestre made a kick off.

Adam Claudiescu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Coni.
