Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Froilan Begal made the kick off which started today's match. 4 minutes into the match, Cocorotico's goal looked a bit too open when Froilan Begal came free, but Evaristo Tu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Izel Cerecedo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Zigor Barranco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Locaio Buison having to interfere. In the 16th minute Joaquin Balaguer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Locaio Buison saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Zigor Barranco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Theodore Viguera fell near the penalty area in the 22nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Guimaral's protests and gave Theodore Viguera a yellow card for diving instead. In the 22nd minute, one of Guimaral:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Guimaral. When the match had been going on for 24 minutes, Cocorotico's Karlo Conllas got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Locaio Buison. Guimaral's Locaio Buison proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 37th minute of the match, managed to save Guimaral from getting a goal against them. 38 minutes into the match, Guimaral's goal looked a bit too open when Joaquin Balaguer came free, but Locaio Buison reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Zigor Barranco came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Cocorotico 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 Zigor Barranco couldn't finish the play. In the 48thth minute of the game Izel Cerecedo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Cocorotico's Evaristo Tu was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Joaquin Balaguer to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute of the match Cocorotico got a corner. Guimaral's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Karlo Conllas ran over to the corner to take the kick. Sedeni Obispo thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Locaio Buison, a very annoying self made goal in the 54th minute which led to 2-0. Guimaral's Locaio Buison played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zigor Barranco in the 57th minute of play. A collision led to Guimaral getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Sedeni Obispo hit a great ball. Zigor Barranco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Locaio Buison tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Zigor Barranco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 71st minute of the game. One of Cocorotico:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Guimaral:s goal. After some careless play in the Cocorotico defense, Izel Cerecedo kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Evaristo Tu. The Cocorotico fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Evaristo Tu should have stopped the shot. Guimaral's Locaio Buison played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joaquin Balaguer in the 93rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Froilan Begal in the 96th minute of play forced Cocorotico's goalkeeper Evaristo Tu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Karlo Conllas's late challenge caught a Guimaral's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Karlo Conllas helped the player get up and apologised. In a very dangerous position, a player in Cocorotico fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 97th minute. Penalty! The Guimaral players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
