If Baltasar Guib had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Baltasar Guib got free with Virgilio Pietro in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Mauro Abajass short, quick shot in the 18thth minute got Virgilio Pietro to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Virgilio Pietro came out of the goal in the 19th minute to try and stop a shot by LiBeRiA F.C.'s Mauro Abajas. But to his dismay, Mauro Abajas quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-0. After some careless play in the LiBeRiA F.C. defense, Rolando Navarro kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Rodrigo Amato. The LiBeRiA F.C. fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Rodrigo Amato should have stopped the shot. In the 31stth minute of the game Baltasar Guib who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Trinchera FC's Virgilio Pietro was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 33 minutes into the game, Juan Ignacio Gol was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. LiBeRiA F.C.'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Trinchera FC the free kick. Baltasar Guib struck a weak shot in the 36th minute. Virgilio Pietro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for LiBeRiA F.C.. Trinchera FC's Virgilio Pietro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Baltasar Guib in the 44th minute of play.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ciriaco Dolcet to strike the kick off in the second half. Virgilio Pietro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Juan Ignacio Gol in the 52nd minute of play. The audience was convinced that Baltasar Guib's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Virgilio Pietro was relentless in the 55th minute of the game. If Ciriaco Dolcet had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 60th minute, Ciriaco Dolcet hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 61 minutes into the game, LiBeRiA F.C.'s Baltasar Guib nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Virgilio Pietro made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-1. After a rather tough play, LiBeRiA F.C.'s Gervasio Llin got a free kick in the 72nd minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mauro Abajas in the 77th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Virgilio Pietro saved Trinchera FC from getting behind. Amadeo Montae sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 85 minutes into the match, Trinchera FC's goal looked a bit too open when Amadeo Montae came free, but Virgilio Pietro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 88 minutes into the match, Juan Ignacio Gol had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Virgilio Pietro. Trinchera FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Juan Ignacio Gol was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 5-1. After having played for 92 minutes, Mauro Abajas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. LiBeRiA F.C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Mauro Abajas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Urbano Ferdinand kicked well hit freekick during the 94th minute of the match. For all the effort they put into the match, the Trinchera FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for LiBeRiA F.C..
