Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Julian Santikurtz got the match started through his kick off. Paolo Felipillo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hipolito Ofelio, who was totally free with the ball in the 3rd minute. If Bebeto Terra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Godofredo Millrick sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 11 minutes, Emilio Egun managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. River FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Emilio Egun was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Sportivo Zaratustra's zone, Godofredo Millrick stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hector Dominguez came out of the goal and Godofredo Millrick tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Bebeto Terra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 18th minute, Ciro Hibai hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Hipolito Ofelio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 31 minutes into the match, River FC's Godofredo Millrick sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Hector Dominguez narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Godofredo Millrick had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Emilio Egun had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Hector Dominguez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emilio Egun, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Godofredo Millrick in the 46th minute of play forced Sportivo Zaratustra's goalkeeper Hector Dominguez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Godofredo Millrick made a kick off. Sportivo Zaratustra's Hector Dominguez played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Godofredo Millrick in the 53rd minute of play. Hector Dominguez showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ole-Martin Tjessem in the 55th minute of the match. If Emilio Egun had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 63rd minute Julian Santikurtz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Paolo Felipillo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Sportivo Zaratustra booed when River FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Damian Aguirre didn't get a good kick on the ball. Hector Dominguez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Emilio Egun in the 79th minute of play. After some careless play in the Sportivo Zaratustra defense, Bebeto Terra kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Hector Dominguez. The Sportivo Zaratustra fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Hector Dominguez should have stopped the shot. When Emilio Egun came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the River FC 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 Emilio Egun couldn't finish the play. If Godofredo Millrick had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. River FC fully deserved thier win.
