Las Cumbres Estadio
Spectators: 6795 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1795, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Luchito Carrillo kicked off to start the match. With a little luck, Parita's Elias Paredes got control of the ball when Orlando Rios tried to sneak it across the goal line. The supporters of Parita booed when Las Cumbres was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. José Villalaz didn't get a good kick on the ball. José Castillero recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Orlando Rios sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Luchito Carrillo came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Las Cumbres 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 Luchito Carrillo couldn't finish the play. When Luchito Carrillo got free in front of the goal in the 26th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Elias Paredes was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. José Castillero fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Oberto having to interfere. Pedro Oberto showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from José Castillero, who was totally free with the ball in the 34th minute. If José Castillero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 0-1 became the score in the 40th minute when Humberto García elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Luchito Carrillo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Elias Paredes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Humberto García stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 59 minutes into the game, Luchito Carrillo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Elias Paredes was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Martín Arias kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. In the 64th minute, Humberto García 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. 68 minutes had been played when some careless play by Las Cumbres's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Tomaso González was slow to take the kick. During this time Parita's players had a chance to rest. The corner ended in Tomaso González almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Las Cumbres's Pedro Oberto did a great save. Parita's Humberto García got a good chance for a goal in the 74th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

When Orlando Rios came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the Las Cumbres 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 Orlando Rios couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Las Cumbres's Pedro Oberto got control of the ball when José Castillero tried to sneak it across the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Humberto García in the 89th minute of play forced Las Cumbres's goalkeeper Pedro Oberto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Manuel Arauz hit a great freekick 94 minutes into the match. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
