Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Panfilo Felpeto kicked off to start the match. 2 minutes into the match, Chancara's goal looked a bit too open when Brion Pont came free, but Rubio Piñan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Inguma Rozas's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 5thth minute, Faas Maestri skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Brion Pont sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 10th minute, Brion Pont left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Pearl Jam fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. In the 13th minute Odon Sarabia suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. When Ricardo Cieza fell near the penalty area in the 13th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Chancara's protests and gave Ricardo Cieza a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Chancara's Ricardo Cieza got a free kick in the 14th minute. Elija Ledrado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rubio Piñan having to interfere. 20 minutes into the game, Sengrat Ogero was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Pearl Jam's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Chancara the free kick. After a rather tough play, Pearl Jam's Brion Pont got a free kick in the 25th minute. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind Pearl Jam's goalkeeper Faas Maestri, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Chancara's Batista Trabado got a free kick in the 29th minute. After having played for 30 minutes, Elija Ledrado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pearl Jam's supporters crossed their fingers, but Elija Ledrado was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 32 minutes of play, Pearl Jam's Brion Pont made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rubio Piñan was left in no man's land by his defense there! Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Elija Ledrado to strike the kick off in the second half. Inguma Rozas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Faas Maestri having to interfere. 54 minutes into the game, Chancara's Panfilo Felpeto nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Faas Maestri made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Inguma Rozas in the 61st minute of play forced Pearl Jam's goalkeeper Faas Maestri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Inguma Rozas took the ball and in the 61 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Faas Maestri. Faas Maestri dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. After 65 played minutes Pearl Jam got a freekick which was hit by Telmo Letatu. Panfilo Felpeto's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Faas Maestri read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 67th minute of play. In the 68th minute Inguma Rozas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Faas Maestri saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Inguma Rozas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 72nd minute, Inguma Rozas ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Faas Maestri was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-2. Faas Maestri stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Panfilo Felpeto's shot from short distance in the 83rd minute.
