Spectators: 6650 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1650, VIP seats: 0) Matias Eguzki started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Romulo Sauveur was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Pablo Paskal showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 9 minute of play. If Tiburcio Mino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tiburcio Mino fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rene Bartoli having to interfere. Romulo Sauveur made a fantastic save in the 23rd minute, when Anibal Tabb sent off a good shot on target. When Anibal Tabb came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Salsacate 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 Anibal Tabb couldn't finish the play. After 29 minutes, Bruno Quirze mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Salsacate AFC and the STRONG IRON players grew even worse after the yellow card. Bruno Quirze kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. Matias Eguzki recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 32nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Anibal Tabb could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 38th minute of the match, but Romulo Sauveur made a huge save. Tiburcio Mino struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Rene Bartoli didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for STRONG IRON. Romulo Sauveur made a fantastic save in the 45th minute, when Anibal Tabb sent off a good shot on target. The audience thought a goal was coming when Anibal Tabb got free with Romulo Sauveur in the 47th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Tiburcio Mino to make the kick off. STRONG IRON's John-Einar Moan got a good chance for a goal in the 51st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Tiburcio Mino's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Rene Bartoli firmly grabbed it by the left post.

After a rather tough play, Salsacate AFC's Jesus Cesario got a free kick in the 62nd minute. If Anibal Tabb had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute.

Tiburcio Mino was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 75th minute. STRONG IRON's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Romulo Sauveur took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Matias Eguzki, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 87 minutes into the match, Anibal Tabb notched a goal, 5-0, to the right of STRONG IRON's Romulo Sauveur. Romulo Sauveur was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. For all the effort they put into the match, the STRONG IRON players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Salsacate AFC.
