Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cecilio Tristan made the kick off which started today's match. Emanuel Aurre's late challenge caught a Coice de Mula's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Emanuel Aurre helped the player get up and apologised. In the 4th match minute, Abuba Akotonon FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Emanuel Aurre to maneuver through the defense. Hugo Orlando Gatti showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mathias Guerra in the 6th minute of the match. In the 8th minute Cecilio Tristan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gianluigi Orange saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cecilio Tristan's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 9thth minute, Gianluigi Orange skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Hugo Orlando Gatti came out of the goal in the 19th minute to try and stop a shot by Coice de Mula's Mathias Guerra. But to his dismay, Mathias Guerra quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Mathias Guerra scored 0-2 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Hugo Orlando Gatti, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 24th minute Carlos Duarte shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hugo Orlando Gatti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mathias Guerra sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mathias Guerra in the 27th minute of play forced Abuba Akotonon FC's goalkeeper Hugo Orlando Gatti to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gianluigi Orange made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cecilio Tristan in the 31st minute of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

Coice de Mula's Allan Sandström was substituted for Douglas dos Santos. The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Medárd Horváth to strike the kick off in the second half. Gianluigi Orange took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Genaro Elivareo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Abuba Akotonon FC booed when Coice de Mula was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 56 match minutes in a wonderful position. Carlos Duarte didn't get a good kick on the ball. Hugo Orlando Gatti showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Medárd Horváth in the 58th minute of the match. Coice de Mula made a substitution. Dennis Giusti replaced Carlos Duarte. The corner led Abuba Akotonon FC's Genaro Elivareo to fire away a dangerous shot which Gianluigi Orange despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. If Medárd Horváth had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 72nd minute, Coice de Mula's Medárd Horváth dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-3. In the 76th minute Medárd Horváth shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hugo Orlando Gatti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Abuba Akotonon FC's Eduardo Emmanuel got a free kick in the 77th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Abuba Akotonon FC's zone, Dennis Giusti stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hugo Orlando Gatti came out of the goal and Dennis Giusti tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Abuba Akotonon FC's goalie and right to Medárd Horváth. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Abuba Akotonon FC's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Hugo Orlando Gatti was a little too slow when Medárd Horváth got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 90th minute. The score was now 0-4. Hugo Orlando Gatti showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Medárd Horváth, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. Coice de Mula's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
