Spectators: 153 (Terracing: 115, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Pastor Oriche took the kick off in the first half of the match. Isidoro Garcia charged in rather forcefully in the 3rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Isidoro Garcia the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Formentera booed when Metapalo FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Isidoro Garcia didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Christian Jerrald had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Feliciano Noe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pastor Oriche, who was totally free with the ball in the 8th minute. Metapalo FC's Feliciano Noe played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pastor Oriche in the 9th minute of play.

With a little luck, Metapalo FC's Feliciano Noe got control of the ball when Christian Jerrald tried to sneak it across the goal line. 18 minutes into the match, Metapalo FC's goal looked a bit too open when Pastor Oriche came free, but Feliciano Noe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sixto Olo's late challenge caught a Formentera's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sixto Olo helped the player get up and apologised. In the 19th match minute, Metapalo FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sixto Olo to maneuver through the defense. Formentera were furious when Camilo Hernandez was red carded, 22 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. After 22 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Formentera! Prudencio Otsoko had in the 26thth minute some difficulties stopping Isidoro Garcia's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. 0-1 came in the 26th minute when Isidoro Garcia all by himself managed to get straight through the defense and place the ball into the net to the right of Prudencio Otsoko. After a defensive mix-up in Metapalo FC's zone, Rolando Ado stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Feliciano Noe came out of the goal and Rolando Ado tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Rolando Ado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Feliciano Noe tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 47th minute, Robustiano Policarpio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

After a rather tough play, Formentera's Simon Nikola got a free kick in the 53rd minute. After 54 played minutes, Metapalo FC's Isidoro Garcia shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Prudencio Otsoko 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 Metapalo FC reached it. The supporters of Formentera booed when Metapalo FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dario Chuse didn't get a good kick on the ball. Christian Jerrald blasted a shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Feliciano Noe having to make a save. If Rolando Ado had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Christian Jerrald came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Formentera 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 Christian Jerrald couldn't finish the play. Rolando Ado sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 84 minutes into the match, Formentera's goal looked a bit too open when Aurelio Elizardo came free, but Prudencio Otsoko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Sixto Olo was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 87 minutes had been played.
