Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Elpidio Efraim kicked off to start the match. In the 9th minute the ball was on its way in behind CF JABATOS's goalkeeper Guido Karmel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 13 minutes into the game, Marcos Txeru cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Raul Hustaz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The audience thought a goal was coming when Edelmiro Loiola got free with Guido Karmel in the 25th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Marcos Txeru hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Corralito AFC's zone, Marcos Txeru stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

In the 47th match minute, CF JABATOS was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Enrique Thomas to maneuver through the defense. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Dionisio Ferran received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Raul Hustaz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
