Spectators: 7530 (Terracing: 5649, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Esquipula Ascarza started the match with the kick off. Esquipula Ascarza blasted a shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Felipe Salantes having to make a save. With splendid footwork Esquipula Ascarza arrived in front of goal to shoot 1-0 by the left pole in the game's 6th minute.

In the 11th minute, Mede Fariña hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 11 minutes into the match, No Me Inscriban Gracias's Lisandro Roches broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Felipe Salantes didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Esquipula Ascarza went, in the 14th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. After 18 minutes of play, ASI NOMAS FC's Chuse Dopacio made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Paublo Suso fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Felipe Salantes having to interfere. After 26 minutes, Lisandro Roches mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the No Me Inscriban Gracias and the ASI NOMAS FC players grew even worse after the yellow card.

After 28 played minutes ASI NOMAS FC got a freekick which was hit by Esquipula Ascarza. Gabirel Golpe recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 45 minutes into the match, ASI NOMAS FC's goal looked a bit too open when Xose Baez came free, but Sagrario Adan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Juan-Carlos Izarra to strike the kick off in the second half. 51 minutes into the match, Juan-Carlos Izarra notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of ASI NOMAS FC's Sagrario Adan. Sagrario Adan was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 57 played minutes, No Me Inscriban Gracias's Lisandro Roches shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Sagrario Adan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in No Me Inscriban Gracias reached it. Sagrario Adan was a little too slow when Xavian Alamasa got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 60th minute. The score was now 3-2. Felipe Salantes came out of the goal in the 62nd minute to try and stop a shot by ASI NOMAS FC's Esquipula Ascarza. But to his dismay, Esquipula Ascarza quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-2. In the 68th match minute, ASI NOMAS FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Esquipula Ascarza to maneuver through the defense. Felipe Salantes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Esquipula Ascarza in the 72nd minute of play. 73 minutes into the match, Chuse Dopacio had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Felipe Salantes. No Me Inscriban Gracias's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Chuse Dopacio was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 5-2. With a little luck, ASI NOMAS FC's Sagrario Adan got control of the ball when Juan-Carlos Izarra tried to sneak it across the goal line.

After having played for 89 minutes, Juan-Carlos Izarra managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. No Me Inscriban Gracias's supporters crossed their fingers, but Juan-Carlos Izarra was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Juan-Carlos Izarra might have been able to make a better finish in the 91st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sagrario Adan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Juan-Carlos Izarra ran back to his position shaking his head. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. ASI NOMAS FC had won after a very even match.
