Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The audience was convinced that Hitz Saz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Matthy Sommers was relentless in the 5th minute of the game. In the 7th minute Vinicio Teijeira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Matthy Sommers saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Claudio Pizarro took the ball and in the 11 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Petri Armendarez. Petri Armendarez dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1.

After 37 minutes of play, Balkes FC's Claudio Pizarro made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
