Spectators: 7444 (Terracing: 5584, Seating: 1712, VIP seats: 148) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Branislav Murashko kicked off to start the match. 5 minutes into the game, Eskuin Llorente was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. PreservemospolladeaguaFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FORTALEZA the free kick. After a rather tough play, PreservemospolladeaguaFC's Eskuin Llorente got a free kick in the 6th minute. In the 11th minute, Desiderio Revuelta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of FORTALEZA booed when PreservemospolladeaguaFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 20 match minutes in a wonderful position. Desiderio Revuelta didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in FORTALEZA's zone, Eskuin Llorente stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Valery Gurinovich came out of the goal and Eskuin Llorente tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Nester Kopylov hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. Joaquin Roca took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Branislav Murashko, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Branislav Murashko's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Joaquin Roca was relentless in the 33rd minute of the game. Boris Liahnovich sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 38th minute, Prohar Nizavets hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Boris Liahnovich in the 43rd minute of play forced PreservemospolladeaguaFC's goalkeeper Joaquin Roca to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 46th match minute, PreservemospolladeaguaFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Remir Vagrande to maneuver through the defense.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Eskuin Llorente stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute Eskuin Llorente shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Valery Gurinovich saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Branislav Murashko in the 57thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Joaquin Roca, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Ximen Barba sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Joaquin Roca showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Boris Liahnovich, who was totally free with the ball in the 69th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Branislav Murashko got free with Joaquin Roca in the 79th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 86th minute, Branislav Murashko got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Branislav Murashko recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 92nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Branislav Murashko during the 95th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 96 minutes of play, PreservemospolladeaguaFC's Eskuin Llorente made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Valery Gurinovich was left in no man's land by his defense there!
