Spectators: 8457 (Terracing: 6356, Seating: 1932, VIP seats: 169) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mendoza Joseph made the kick off which started today's match. Oso Amezaga showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Leoverliz Carlos in the 4th minute of the match. If Jácome Vilardell had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 10th minute, one of C.A. GUAYACO: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 C.A. GUAYACO. After having played for 18 minutes, Fabian Sandoval managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. KRAKEN FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Fabian Sandoval was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Mendoza Joseph could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 21st minute of the match, but Jacobo Urraburu made a huge save. The audience was convinced that Xeromo Llarena's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Oso Amezaga was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Xeromo Llarena in the 31st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Oso Amezaga saved C.A. GUAYACO from getting behind. 33 minutes into the match, Xeromo Llarena had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Oso Amezaga. C.A. GUAYACO's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Xeromo Llarena was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mendoza Joseph got free with Jacobo Urraburu in the 42nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Fabian Sandoval sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After the first half KRAKEN FC were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

KRAKEN FC's Salas Minayo suffered a concussion in the 50th minute, after a hard challenge, and had to leave the field. A collision led to C.A. GUAYACO getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. Johnny Arona hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 53rd minute, Leoverliz Carlos managed to get in a good position for a shot. KRAKEN FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Leoverliz Carlos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Oso Amezaga breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Fabian Sandoval struck a weak shot in the 57th minute. Oso Amezaga didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for KRAKEN FC. When Mendoza Joseph came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the C.A. GUAYACO 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 Mendoza Joseph couldn't finish the play. 64 minutes into the match, KRAKEN FC's goal looked a bit too open when Mendoza Joseph came free, but Jacobo Urraburu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jacobo Urraburu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sérgio Silveira, who was totally free with the ball in the 84th minute. After a rather tough play, C.A. GUAYACO's Rodrigo Caborredondo got a free kick in the 85th minute. In the 88th minute the ball was on its way in behind C.A. GUAYACO's goalkeeper Oso Amezaga, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 90th minute Sérgio Silveira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jacobo Urraburu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 96th minute Caicedo Berrondo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jacobo Urraburu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. KRAKEN FC had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
