Spectators: 7263 (Terracing: 5449, Seating: 1670, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ildefonso Solustiano started the match with the kick off. The supporters of Parvadomus FC booed when The Beatles F.C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vicente Abeita didn't get a good kick on the ball. Fabian Tallia took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 5th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Anier Gabrio. The Beatles F.C.'s goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. A collision led to The Beatles F.C. getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Segundo Beremundo hit a great ball. Nestor Guillelmes short, quick shot in the 8thth minute got Edgardo Paul to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Nestor Guillelme had several of the Parvadomus FC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 8 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Edgardo Paul as he didn't even see the shot coming. Albino Manilan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Edgardo Paul having to interfere. The Beatles F.C.'s Anier Gabrio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eustaquio Mateus in the 18th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eustaquio Mateus in the 20th minute of play forced The Beatles F.C.'s goalkeeper Anier Gabrio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Parvadomus FC's zone, Nestor Guillelme stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Edgardo Paul came out of the goal and Nestor Guillelme tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Nestor Guillelme blasted a shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Edgardo Paul having to make a save. In the 35th minute, Parvadomus FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Albino Manilan fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Albino Manilan to strike the kick off in the second half. Eustaquio Mateus received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Anier Gabrio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 73 minutes into the game, The Beatles F.C.'s Albino Manilan nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Edgardo Paul made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. Eustaquio Mateus fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anier Gabrio having to interfere. In the 81st match minute, The Beatles F.C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bonifacio Terciero to maneuver through the defense. Anier Gabrio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ildefonso Solustiano, who was totally free with the ball in the 87th minute. If Ildefonso Solustiano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Hugo Eladio kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. Parvadomus FC's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
