Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jorge-Luis Sivieri took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Patxi Claude ran back to his position shaking his head. 10 minutes into the match, SnapperHeads F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Patxi Claude came free, but Arneil Ambrose reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
