Spectators: 6924 (Terracing: 5050, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 100) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jhonnatan Reyes kicked off to start the match. The supporters of Cuddington booed when Banbury was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mauro Noyola didn't get a good kick on the ball. 11 minutes into the match, Manuel Melendez had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Patricio Osorio. Banbury's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Manuel Melendez was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. With a little luck, Cuddington's Nelson Leguizamon got control of the ball when Ivan Liborio tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Ivan Liborio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Manuel Melendez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Patricio Osorio having to interfere.
