Spectators: 7524 (Terracing: 5644, Seating: 1730, VIP seats: 150) In the 3rd minute Sarracino Mandiola shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marlene Dietrich saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Claude Grange fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SILMONT's protests and gave Claude Grange a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, SILMONT's Claude Grange got a free kick in the 7th minute. In the 9th minute, Rubén Palazuelos made a precise shot to the right of Marlene Dietrich. SILMONT's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Alexis Back sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Bart Falempin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 20 minutes of play, Club Deportivo Xpertin's Rubén Palazuelos made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Marlene Dietrich was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, Club Deportivo Xpertin's Miliano Orella got a free kick in the 22nd minute. 24 minutes into the match, Club Deportivo Xpertin's goal looked a bit too open when Alexis Back came free, but Adriano Rebolledo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 26th minute Alexis Back shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adriano Rebolledo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 28th minute, Club Deportivo Xpertin's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Alexis Back fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. The supporters of SILMONT booed when Club Deportivo Xpertin was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 29 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eber Arteche didn't get a good kick on the ball. Club Deportivo Xpertin's Rubén Palazuelos got a good chance for a goal in the 32nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 34 minutes of play, SILMONT's Alexis Back made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Adriano Rebolledo was left in no man's land by his defense there! An unexpectedly hard shot by Rubén Palazuelos in the 41st minute of play forced SILMONT's goalkeeper Marlene Dietrich to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 42 played minutes SILMONT got a freekick which was hit by Bart Falempin. The SILMONT players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Club Deportivo Xpertin were winning 1-2.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Alexis Back was the one to do the kick off. Juanjo Huechun got a throw-in 52 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Miguel Ortiz. In the 55thth minute of the game Alexis Back who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Club Deportivo Xpertin's Adriano Rebolledo was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 61st minute, Eber Arteche managed to get in a good position for a shot. Club Deportivo Xpertin's supporters rose to their feet, but Eber Arteche was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Marlene Dietrich breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 70th minute Alexis Back shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adriano Rebolledo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in SILMONT's zone, Sarracino Mandiola stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Marlene Dietrich came out of the goal and Sarracino Mandiola tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Marlene Dietrich made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rubén Palazuelos in the 85th minute of play. Daryl Riva charged in rather forcefully in the 92nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Daryl Riva the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 93 minutes into the match, SILMONT's goalkeeper Marlene Dietrich had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Sarracino Mandiola. Club Deportivo Xpertin played a much better game than SILMONT and deserved their victory. The SILMONT players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
