Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Teofilo Inge got the match started through his kick off. After 4 minutes of play, Kraken FC's Wladyslaw Grabski made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Silvano Monte was left in no man's land by his defense there! Wladyslaw Grabski blasted a shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Silvano Monte having to make a save. After some fancy dribbling in the 9th minute, Wladyslaw Grabski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kraken FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Wladyslaw Grabski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Silvano Monte breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 11 minutes, Urbano Naike managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kraken FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Urbano Naike was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 13th minute, Urbano Naike made a precise shot to the right of Silvano Monte. Salado AFC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2.

Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 24th minute, Kraken FC's Eliseo Madaleno seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Eliseo Madaleno the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Kraken FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Eliseo Madaleno had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The supporters of Salado AFC booed when Kraken FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eliseo Madaleno didn't get a good kick on the ball. 29 minutes into the game, Kraken FC's Urbano Naike nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

In the 40th minute Urbano Naike suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. When Celestino Ferrer fell near the penalty area in the 40th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Salado AFC's protests and gave Celestino Ferrer a yellow card for diving instead. Kraken FC's Iker Eleder was substituted for Urbano Naike. After a rather tough play, Salado AFC's Celestino Ferrer got a free kick in the 42nd minute. Ivan Gitano was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Ulises Bernabel showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-3 in the 43 minute of play. Iker Eleder's late challenge caught a Salado AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Iker Eleder helped the player get up and apologised. In the 46th minute, Iker Eleder hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Iker Eleder to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute, Romulo Maiorga 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.

Ivan Gitano showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ulises Bernabel in the 69th minute of the match. Iker Eleder might have been able to make a better finish in the 71st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Silvano Monte. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Iker Eleder ran back to his position shaking his head. After some careless play in the Salado AFC defense, Wladyslaw Grabski kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Silvano Monte.
