Spectators: 7520 (Terracing: 5641, Seating: 1729, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mario Benitez made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the game, James Madison was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Les Presidents FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Audaz FC the free kick. The supporters of Audaz FC booed when Les Presidents FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. James Madison didn't get a good kick on the ball. Lastra Lainez was out of position in the 18 minute of play, and Ferdinand Marcos capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Ferdinand Marcos really showed his touch with that goal: 2-0. After some careless play in the Audaz FC defense, Ferdinand Marcos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Lastra Lainez. The Audaz FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Lastra Lainez should have stopped the shot.

After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Casado Armental managed to get in a good position for a shot. Audaz FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Casado Armental was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bobby De Maerschalck breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 4-0 became the score in the 37th minute when Ferdinand Marcos elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. When the match had gone on for 41 minutes, Ferdinand Marcos took a quick shot and it went in 5-0 without a chance for Lastra Lainez to make any attempt to save it. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 5-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Casado Armental to strike the kick off in the second half. After 52 minutes of play, Les Presidents FC's Guilian Vissenaeckens made it 6-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
