Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Apolo Sayvion kicked off to start the match.

In the 11th minute, Apolo Sayvion ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Higinio Todor was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0.

In the 23rd minute, Apolo Sayvion made a precise shot to the right of Higinio Todor. Fraga's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Apolo Sayvion in the 27th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Higinio Todor prevented the ball from getting in the gole. The audience was convinced that Hernan Lorencio's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Silverio Johans was relentless in the 32nd minute of the game. CUBA FENIX Reloaded's Silverio Johans played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Filiberto Pabla in the 38th minute of play. When Ezequiel Emenon fell near the penalty area in the 39th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored CUBA FENIX Reloaded's protests and gave Ezequiel Emenon a yellow card for diving instead. Silverio Johans took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hernan Lorencio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 45 minutes, Filiberto Pabla managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Fraga's supporters crossed their fingers, but Filiberto Pabla was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Filiberto Pabla recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

After a defensive mix-up in Fraga's zone, Osvaldo Avellaneda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Higinio Todor came out of the goal and Osvaldo Avellaneda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Osvaldo Avellaneda managed to get in a good position for a shot. CUBA FENIX Reloaded's supporters rose to their feet, but Osvaldo Avellaneda was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Higinio Todor breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Apolo Sayvion kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. When the match clock showed 62 minutes, the score became 3-2 when Apolo Sayvion sped through Fraga's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Higinio Todor. Filiberto Pabla sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Hernan Lorencio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 70 minutes into the game, Hernan Lorencio recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Silverio Johans. Hernan Lorencio showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 3-3. In the 79th match minute, Fraga was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Angel Velasco to maneuver through the defense. Apolo Sayvion sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 90th match minute, Fraga was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hernan Lorencio to maneuver through the defense. CUBA FENIX Reloaded were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
