Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Serafino Estevez made the kick off which started today's match. The supporters of C.U.E. DE COMERCIO booed when Habsburgo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Lucio Bixintxo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Alfonso Vachon, 3 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Lucio Christobal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tore-Andre Flø in the 5th minute of the match.

Habsburgo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tore-Andre Flø was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. The audience was convinced that Tore-Andre Flø's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lucio Christobal was relentless in the 16th minute of the game. Tore-Andre Flø received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Lucio Christobal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

DE COMERCIO fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. Serafino Estevez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
