Spectators: 7147 (Terracing: 5361, Seating: 1644, VIP seats: 142) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Thiago da Cunha took the kick off in the first half of the match.

But to his dismay, Iker Corderall quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Epifanio Lon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Doncho Bunev having to interfere. 22 minutes into the match, Jonathan Unax had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Doncho Bunev.

Iker Corderall received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 30th minute. Joaquin Urti tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Doncho Bunev was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Joaquin Urti took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erivaldo Fonseca, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Epifanio Lon to make the kick off. In the 55th match minute, Banda Norte was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ciriaco Remir to maneuver through the defense.

The Burros FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1.
