Spectators: 6667 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1667, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Anier Cordarrol took the kick off in the first half of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Domingos Jatsu in the 3rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Alvaro Bartoleme saved Canque from getting behind. Anier Cordarrol struck a weak shot in the 7th minute. Anier Dantae didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Canque. If Anier Cordarrol had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pedro Gaur received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Anier Dantae tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cayetano Min charged in rather forcefully in the 23rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Cayetano Min the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 24 minutes into the match, Pedro Gaur notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Saladillo FC's Anier Dantae. Anier Dantae was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Saladillo FC's Anier Dantae played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pedro Gaur in the 28th minute of play. Anier Dantae took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pedro Gaur, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 36th minute Pedro Gaur shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anier Dantae saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Saladillo FC's Domingos Jatsu got a good chance for a goal in the 40th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Anier Cordarrol sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Domingos Jatsu was the one to do the kick off. 54 minutes into the match, Saladillo FC's goal looked a bit too open when Anier Cordarrol came free, but Anier Dantae reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Pedro Gaur received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Anier Dantae tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Canque's Pedro Gaur in the 70th minute got a chance for a shot 70th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Saladillo FC's goalie prevented a goal. Alvaro Bartoleme showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Domingos Jatsu in the 73rd minute of the match. Pedro Gaur scored 0-2 in the 76th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Anier Dantae, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Anier Cordarrol received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Anier Dantae tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Pedro Gaur in the 81stth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Anier Dantae, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. In the 84thth minute of the game Anier Cordarrol who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Saladillo FC's Anier Dantae was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After 85 played minutes Saladillo FC got a freekick which was hit by Bernardino Veronica. After a defensive mix-up in Saladillo FC's zone, Anier Cordarrol stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anier Dantae came out of the goal and Anier Cordarrol tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Pedro Gaur came up free with the goalie in the 90th minute, the Canque 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 Pedro Gaur couldn't finish the play. Anier Dantae showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anier Cordarrol, who was totally free with the ball in the 91st minute. Romeo Bibiano's late challenge caught a Canque's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Romeo Bibiano helped the player get up and apologised. When the match was over Canque could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Saladillo FC throughout the match.
