Spectators: 175 (Terracing: 132, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Benedicto Quin kicked off to start the match. In the 8th minute of the match, Machado Assis got a very nice opportunity to score, but Elvis Ribeiro was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. After 9 minutes U.D. Mancini's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Machado Assis who took care of the corner kick. After taking down the ball on Tasso FC's corner Machado Assis fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Elvis Ribeiro quite easily take care of the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Benedicto Quin in the 11th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Elvis Ribeiro saved U.D. Mancini from getting behind. When the match clock showed 11 minutes, the score became 1-0 when Benedicto Quin sped through U.D. Mancini's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Elvis Ribeiro. In the 14th minute, Romeo Rienda made a precise shot to the right of Monte Lobato. Tasso FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. In the 24thth minute of the game Benedicto Quin who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but U.D. Mancini's Elvis Ribeiro was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After 24 minutes, Benedicto Quin made it 2-1 with a short kick to the right side. U.D. Mancini's Elvis Ribeiro tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. The supporters of Tasso FC booed when U.D. Mancini was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Romeo Rienda didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 43 minutes of play, U.D. Mancini's Tello Calvo made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Monte Lobato was left in no man's land by his defense there! The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 2-2 after a close first half.

The wind increased when Romeo Rienda made the kick off in the second half. 61 minutes into the match, Benedicto Quin notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of U.D. Mancini's Elvis Ribeiro. Elvis Ribeiro was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Cugat Riells made in the 65th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Tello Calvo immediately put the ball in play. Brion Macia kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. After having played for 71 minutes, Benedicto Quin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tasso FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Benedicto Quin was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Tasso FC made a substitution. Chu Tasso replaced Benedicto Quin. Machado Assis hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. If Romeo Rienda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tello Calvo kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. Chu Tasso blasted a shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Elvis Ribeiro having to make a save. In the 93rd minute Chu Tasso shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elvis Ribeiro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Tasso FC booed when U.D. Mancini was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ebardo Acha didn't get a good kick on the ball. Machado Assis was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 96th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.
