Spectators: 7317 (Terracing: 5489, Seating: 1683, VIP seats: 145) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Teofilo Euloxu started the match with the kick off. Eriberto Behe recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Gualterio Gines might have been able to make a better finish in the 6th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tod Bolton. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Gualterio Gines ran back to his position shaking his head. 8 minutes into the match, Eriberto Behe notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Deportivo Bera's Tod Bolton.

Tod Bolton was left in no man's land by his defense there! Teofilo Euloxu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Románticos FC's Eriberto Behe got a good chance for a goal in the 33rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 36 minutes into the match, Deportivo Bera's Albano Gergori sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Hugo Columbo narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

In the 73rd minute Casimiro Elodio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tod Bolton saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Teofilo Euloxu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
