Spectators: 7214 (Terracing: 5412, Seating: 1659, VIP seats: 143) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jeronimo Donzel started the match with the kick off. The supporters of La Naranja Oxidada booed when La Bancaria was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Saturnino Bernard didn't get a good kick on the ball. Bruno Abeita made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mario Rodriguez in the 4th minute of play. Alejandro Natal didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Juan Ibon went, in the 8th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. Juan Ibon's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Alejandro Natal firmly grabbed it by the left post. If Juan Ibon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With his leg Alejandro Natal managed to avoid a goal in the 26thth minute, when La Bancaria's Juan Ibon fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 29th minute, Juan Ibon got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 34th minute, Vladimiro Bernal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alejandro Natal was a little too slow when Garin Poulin got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 37th minute. The score was now 3-0. Gatot Branca received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Alejandro Natal came out and tried to block the shot, but Gatot Branca slotted it home off the left post making it 4-0 in the 42nd minute.

After a rather tough play, La Bancaria's Reynaldo Jaunti got a free kick in the 55th minute. Alejandro Natal came out of the goal in the 62nd minute to try and stop a shot by La Bancaria's Juan Ibon. But to his dismay, Juan Ibon quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-0. After 65 played minutes La Bancaria got a freekick which was hit by Saturnino Bernard. If Juan Ibon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Garin Poulin's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Alejandro Natal was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. In the 73rd match minute, La Bancaria was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Felipe Cordaro to maneuver through the defense. In the 76th minute of the match, Mario Rodriguez got a very nice opportunity to score, but Bruno Abeita was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Garin Poulin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alejandro Natal read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 78th minute of play. After having played for 80 minutes, Jeronimo Donzel managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. La Naranja Oxidada's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jeronimo Donzel 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 87th minute Garin Poulin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alejandro Natal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 89 minutes, Garin Poulin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. La Bancaria's supporters crossed their fingers, but Garin Poulin was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Juan Ibon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Alejandro Natal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
