Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cristobal Lalla made the kick off which started today's match. Clark Kent showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tomás Leoncio in the 5th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cristobal Lalla in the 18th minute of play forced Zorros del Desierto's goalkeeper Clark Kent to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Cai Jian Chang got free with Raimundo Obano in the 25th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Cai Jian Chang recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 30th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 32 minutes of play, Zorros del Desierto's Valentin Vrânceanu made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Raimundo Obano was left in no man's land by his defense there! Cai Jian Chang's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Raimundo Obano read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 36th minute of play. Clark Kent showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Saverio Reyes in the 37th minute of the match. In the 43rd minute Saverio Reyes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Clark Kent saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Clark Kent came out of the goal in the 47th minute to try and stop a shot by LA InDuStRiA INC's Cristobal Lalla. But to his dismay, Cristobal Lalla quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Valentin Vrânceanu to make the kick off. When Tomás Leoncio came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the LA InDuStRiA INC 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 Tomás Leoncio couldn't finish the play. Zorros del Desierto's Jon-Ander Wallffiguer was substituted for Edward Okopny. LA InDuStRiA INC's Raimundo Obano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dalmo Ferreira in the 66th minute of play. Clark Kent made an important save on a dangerous shot by Cristobal Lalla in the 68th minute. In the 69th minute, Tomás Leoncio left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The LA InDuStRiA INC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-2. 73 minutes into the match, Valentin Vrânceanu had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Raimundo Obano. LA InDuStRiA INC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Valentin Vrânceanu was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. Raimundo Obano showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Valentin Vrânceanu, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. 78 minutes into the match, Zorros del Desierto's goalkeeper Clark Kent had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Cristobal Lalla. 80 minutes into the match, LA InDuStRiA INC's goal looked a bit too open when Jonathan Lepe came free, but Raimundo Obano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Zorros del Desierto's Clark Kent played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristobal Lalla in the 85th minute of play. After 87 minutes, Igor Medero mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the LA InDuStRiA INC and the Zorros del Desierto players grew even worse after the yellow card. Pablo Abdallah lost his temper 95 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. The goalkeeper, Clark Kent, was totally fooled by LA InDuStRiA INC's Tomás Leoncio, who 98 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Although Zorros del Desierto had been in control for most of the match, LA InDuStRiA INC still came away with the win.
