Spectators: 145 (Terracing: 110, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) Cepicó FC's Mariano Asur started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. When the match had gone on for 3 minutes, Atilano Blasco took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Baldomero Florinio to make any attempt to save it. 8 minutes into the match, Mariano Asur notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of Pandilla Cobayeril's Baldomero Florinio. Baldomero Florinio was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Leonardo Frichoso took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ramiro Naldo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Baldomero Florinio showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Atilano Blasco in the 21st minute of the match. The supporters of Cepicó FC booed when Pandilla Cobayeril was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Christian Hitzeder didn't get a good kick on the ball. Baldomero Florinio made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mariano Asur in the 34th minute. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-0 at half-time.

When Ramiro Naldo came up free with the goalie in the 54th minute, the Pandilla Cobayeril 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 Ramiro Naldo couldn't finish the play. Baldomero Florinio made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Atilano Blasco in the 60th minute of play. In the 62nd minute, Mariano Asur made a precise shot to the right of Baldomero Florinio. Pandilla Cobayeril's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 4-0. Baldomero Florinio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Blas Johans, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Mariano Oriche during the 69th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A hard and well directed shot from Atilano Blasco led 70 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Pandilla Cobayeril's Baldomero Florinio became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 5-0. Baldomero Florinio came out of the goal in the 80th minute to try and stop a shot by Cepicó FC's Mariano Asur. But to his dismay, Mariano Asur quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 6-0. Baldomero Florinio didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Blas Johans went, in the 86th minute, to the upper right corner, 7-0 was the resulting score. Mariano Oriche was shown his second yellow card after 89 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. Mariano Oriche hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. In the 94th minute Atilano Blasco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Baldomero Florinio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 95th minute, Serafin Blai hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. There was no doubt that Cepicó FC were the better team. Cepicó FC's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
