Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Eduardo Edorta took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute Júnior Salles shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Isaias Matxin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 6 minutes into the match, Real Cruzeiro FC's goalkeeper Ivo Amaral had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Eduardo Edorta. After 9 minutes of play, Real Cruzeiro FC's Júnior Salles made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Isaias Matxin was left in no man's land by his defense there! Luís Guilherme Cabral took the ball and in the 13 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Isaias Matxin. Isaias Matxin dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. If Luís Guilherme Cabral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 26 played minutes Real Cruzeiro FC got a freekick which was hit by Ronaldo Vianna. Gonçalo Sarmento's late challenge caught a Los Trip's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gonçalo Sarmento helped the player get up and apologised. After 30 played minutes Real Cruzeiro FC got a freekick which was hit by Gonçalo Sarmento. Los Trip's Roman Liher got a good chance for a goal in the 31st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 33 minutes into the match, Los Trip's goal looked a bit too open when Gonçalo Sarmento came free, but Isaias Matxin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Roman Liher might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ivo Amaral. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Roman Liher ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 40th minute, Gonçalo Sarmento left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Real Cruzeiro FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. After 44 minutes of play, Real Cruzeiro FC's Luís Guilherme Cabral made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Isaias Matxin was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 47th minute, Luís Guilherme Cabral hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-4.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Gonçalo Sarmento to make the kick off. Los Trip's Gregorio Ostots suffered a sore thigh after 51 minutes and couldn't finish the game. During the 51st minute of the match Gonçalo Sarmento completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Gonçalo Sarmento a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Los Trip made a substitution. Humberto Beat replaced Gregorio Ostots. Gonçalo Sarmento hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. Hipolito Taurino fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ivo Amaral having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eduardo Edorta in the 70th minute of play forced Real Cruzeiro FC's goalkeeper Ivo Amaral to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Real Cruzeiro FC's zone, Humberto Beat stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ivo Amaral came out of the goal and Humberto Beat tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 78th minute of the match, Luís Guilherme Cabral got a very nice opportunity to score, but Isaias Matxin was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. The supporters of Los Trip booed when Real Cruzeiro FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Júnior Salles didn't get a good kick on the ball. Luís Guilherme Cabral hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. In the 85thth minute of the game Eduardo Edorta who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Real Cruzeiro FC's Ivo Amaral was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Real Cruzeiro FC's Ivo Amaral played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eduardo Edorta in the 87th minute of play. When Luís Guilherme Cabral came up free with the goalie in the 90th minute, the Real Cruzeiro FC 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 Luís Guilherme Cabral couldn't finish the play.
