Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Emiliano Lesardo started the match with the kick off. Silviu Novac scored 0-1 in the 3rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Albino Berriotxoa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Emiliano Lesardo could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 5th minute of the match, but Fanis Geronimidis made a huge save. Albino Berriotxoa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Silviu Novac in the 8th minute of play. Belotaurus FC's Fanis Geronimidis proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 13th minute of the match, managed to save Belotaurus FC from getting a goal against them. After 15 played minutes Manchester Quijano got a freekick which was hit by Patrício Pizarro. 17 minutes into the match, Silviu Novac notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Manchester Quijano's Albino Berriotxoa.

Albino Berriotxoa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Silviu Novac in the 22nd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Silviu Novac in the 25th minute of play forced Manchester Quijano's goalkeeper Albino Berriotxoa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 27th minute Erivaldo Perez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Albino Berriotxoa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Emiliano Lesardo came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the Manchester Quijano 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 Emiliano Lesardo couldn't finish the play. In the 37th minute Doni Cordeiro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Albino Berriotxoa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 41 played minutes Manchester Quijano got a freekick which was hit by Albert Rudberg. If Waldemar Schmidt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Silviu Novac to strike the kick off in the second half. With a little luck, Manchester Quijano's Albino Berriotxoa got control of the ball when Silviu Novac tried to sneak it across the goal line. 59 minutes into the match, Belotaurus FC's goal looked a bit too open when Emiliano Lesardo came free, but Fanis Geronimidis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Albino Berriotxoa was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Doni Cordeiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After having played for 83 minutes, Luis Ipar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Manchester Quijano's supporters crossed their fingers, but Luis Ipar was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 88 minutes into the match, Manchester Quijano's goal looked a bit too open when Erivaldo Perez came free, but Albino Berriotxoa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Luis Ipar ran back to his position shaking his head. If Luis Ipar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.
