Spectators: 7059 (Terracing: 5296, Seating: 1623, VIP seats: 140) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Saturnino Nesto took the kick off in the first half of the match. Saturnino Nesto received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Adam Šmída tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ramiro Baladi hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. In the 12th minute the ball was on its way in behind MAKUNA MATATA's goalkeeper Adam Šmída, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After having played for 16 minutes, Ramiro Baladi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. MAKUNA MATATA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ramiro Baladi 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 18th minute Ramiro Baladi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amador Adrio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Candido Iraido made a great header on MAKUNA MATATA's corner, it was just that Club Almagro's Amador Adrio managed to reach the ball for a save. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Domingo Kauldi during the 20th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 20th minute, Domingo Kauldi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Saturnino Nesto who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 24thth minute tested the skills of Adam Šmída when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The supporters of Club Almagro booed when MAKUNA MATATA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ovidio Caton didn't get a good kick on the ball. Sebastian Txomin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Amador Adrio didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Ramiro Baladi went, in the 33rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Sebastian Txomin might have been able to make a better finish in the 41st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Amador Adrio. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Sebastian Txomin ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ovidio Caton in the 44th minute of play forced Club Almagro's goalkeeper Amador Adrio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ricardo Araújo kicked well hit freekick during the 45th minute of the match. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ramiro Baladi to make the kick off. Sebastian Txomin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Amador Adrio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 55 minutes into the match, MAKUNA MATATA's goal looked a bit too open when Ricardo Araújo came free, but Adam Šmída reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Aquilino Perpinya charged in rather forcefully in the 56th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Aquilino Perpinya the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Aquilino Perpinya hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match.

After 65 minutes MAKUNA MATATA's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Jimeno Urtzi who took care of the corner kick. The MAKUNA MATATA fans' excitement grew in the 67th match minute when MAKUNA MATATA's Ramiro Baladi looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After 73 played minutes MAKUNA MATATA got a freekick which was hit by Ovidio Caton. Ricardo Araújo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 76th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Ramiro Baladi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

MAKUNA MATATA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sebastian Txomin was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience was convinced that Ramiro Baladi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Amador Adrio was relentless in the 95th minute of the game.
