Spectators: 6662 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1662, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Siro Tebaldo took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 2nd minute, Everardo Gipuzkoa fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Everardo Gipuzkoa in the 5th minute of play forced Sotelo AFC's goalkeeper Guillermo Elodio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Guillermo Elodio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Everardo Gipuzkoa, who was totally free with the ball in the 7th minute. When Victorio Heriberto came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the Mercedes AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Victorio Heriberto couldn't finish the play. After 9 played minutes Sotelo AFC got a freekick which was hit by Angelo Ferdinand. After some fancy dribbling in the 12th minute, Victorio Heriberto managed to get in a good position for a shot.

After a rather tough play, Mercedes AFC's Joel Acuña got a free kick in the 16th minute. Tobias Casomiro took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 17th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gonzalo Valentine.

Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
