Spectators: 8072 (Terracing: 6056, Seating: 1856, VIP seats: 160) Terceirense F.C.'s attentive Valter Lucena managed to snatch the ball when Oso Rollan made a throw-in in the 3rd minute of the game. Zilar Yurre could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 6th minute of the match, but Robert Enke made a huge save. Zilar Yurre struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. Robert Enke didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Porteño Prowess FC. The audience thought a goal was coming when Zilar Yurre got free with Robert Enke in the 12th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 14 minutes Terceirense F.C.'s defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Sergio Munis who took care of the corner kick. Daniel Saldivar was in a good position and managed to take a shot, but he missed just to the outside of the post. After a rather tough play, Porteño Prowess FC's Daniel Saldivar got a free kick in the 14th minute. 17 minutes into the match, Terceirense F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Umbruso Cantera came free, but Robert Enke reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Daniel Saldivar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Terceirense F.C.'s zone, Zilar Yurre stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Robert Enke came out of the goal and Zilar Yurre tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 33rdth minute Aldo Anjos beautifully dribbled past Porteño Prowess FC's defense and it looked for a moment as a certain goal, but Xzaiver Lorenzo pulled off a phantom save to prevent the ball from scoring on his left hand side. Zarco Sarmento hit a great freekick 39 minutes into the match. 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.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Gabriel Távora to strike the kick off in the second half. The throw-in from Oso Rollan in the 73rd minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Terceirense F.C.'s Valter Lucena. After 78 minutes, Valter Lucena mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Terceirense F.C. and the Porteño Prowess FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 78 played minutes Terceirense F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Valter Lucena. When Zilar Yurre came up free with the goalie in the 81st minute, the Porteño Prowess FC 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 Zilar Yurre couldn't finish the play. A collision led to Porteño Prowess FC getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Oso Rollan hit a great ball. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
