Fortaleza Bichera
Spectators: 159 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Edu Carvalho started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, La Bichineta's Hauk Hareide sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Agustín Rossi narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 5th minute La Bichineta were awarded a corner. Dariusz Motyl went to the cornerflag to take it. La Bichineta's Arnaldo Pirmin managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Edelmiro Neto in the 7 minute of the game. The audience thought a goal was coming when Felix Castel got free with Agustín Rossi in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 14 minutes had been played when some careless play by Los Trip's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Dariusz Motyl was slow to take the kick. During this time La Bichineta's players had a chance to rest. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Los Trip's goalie and right to Sun Yuan Zheng. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Los Trip's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. In the 19th minute Hauk Hareide shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Agustín Rossi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Edu Carvalho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Los Trip's supporters rose to their feet, but Edu Carvalho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Silvestre Peli breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 26 minutes into the match, Los Trip's goal looked a bit too open when Hauk Hareide came free, but Agustín Rossi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Silvestre Peli made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Edu Carvalho in the 29th minute of play. Silvestre Peli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Edu Carvalho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 39 minutes into the match, La Bichineta's goal looked a bit too open when Edu Carvalho came free, but Silvestre Peli reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hauk Hareide's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Agustín Rossi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 44th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Los Trip's Janne Gibson got a free kick in the 45th minute. Dariusz Motyl struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Agustín Rossi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for La Bichineta. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Agustín Rossi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Carolo Abancens, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. In the 78th minute, Amado Filipo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. La Bichineta made a substitution. Timoteo Izel replaced Sun Yuan Zheng.

Los Trip's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Felix Castel was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Carolo Abancens in the 84th minute of play forced Los Trip's goalkeeper Agustín Rossi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 88 minutes, Bruno Capello managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Los Trip's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bruno Capello was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Agustín Rossi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Carolo Abancens went, in the 95th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. For all the effort they put into the match, the Los Trip players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for La Bichineta.
