Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Larroque AFC's Emanuel Castel started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Guillermo Luar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Guillermo Luar struck a weak shot in the 8th minute. Edelmiro Tiso didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Larroque AFC.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Victorio Stephen couldn't finish the play. Cobo's Edelmiro Tiso played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emanuel Castel in the 14th minute of play. Larroque AFC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Abelardo Sidoro in the 16th minute. Larroque AFC's Abelardo Sidoro was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Edelmiro Tiso in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Edelmiro Tiso showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Guillermo Luar, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute.

Marciano Koldobika made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ricardo Lop in the 24th minute. An unexpected shot in the 26th minute by Victorio Stephen got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. If Ricardo Lop had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Eliseo Orlanda fell near the penalty area in the 30th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Cobo's protests and gave Eliseo Orlanda a yellow card for diving instead. When Emanuel Castel came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the Larroque 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 Emanuel Castel couldn't finish the play.

Victorio Stephen scored 1-0 in the 52nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Marciano Koldobika, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Marciano Koldobika made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Victorio Stephen in the 57th minute of play. Victorio Stephen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Marciano Koldobika tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Larroque AFC booed when Cobo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 65 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rolando Bizen didn't get a good kick on the ball. Guillermo Luar might have been able to make a better finish in the 67th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Edelmiro Tiso. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Guillermo Luar ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 68th minute of the match, Emanuel Castel tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Edelmiro Tiso saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 75 minutes into the game, Guillermo Luar cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Edelmiro Tiso was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.

Abelardo Sidoro took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 86th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Edelmiro Tiso. Cobo's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 89 minutes into the match, Cobo's Ricardo Lop sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Marciano Koldobika narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 92 minutes into the match, Victorio Stephen notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Larroque AFC's Marciano Koldobika. Marciano Koldobika was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Cobo had won after a very even match.
