Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Cristian Naike got the match started through his kick off. Tiburcio Quinteros spun around in front of the goal 10 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Islas FC's goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Benedicto Tonete in the 13th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Elpidio Vitin saved Vélez Juniors from getting behind. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bernardo Sayvion got free with Vicente Ipar in the 15th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Benedicto Tonete sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Norberto Admon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Elpidio Vitin having to interfere. 21 minutes into the match, Islas FC's goal looked a bit too open when Cristian Naike came free, but Vicente Ipar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 23rd minute Eustacio Inko shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elpidio Vitin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 26 played minutes Islas FC got a freekick which was hit by Norberto Admon. Vicente Ipar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cristian Naike in the 27th minute of play. Vicente Ipar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Benicio Rivas, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. In the 32nd minute Vélez Juniors were awarded a corner. Santos Fonda went to the cornerflag to take it. After some careless play in the Islas FC defense, Benicio Rivas kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Vicente Ipar. The Islas FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Vicente Ipar should have stopped the shot. Bernardo Sayvion could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 38th minute of the match, but Vicente Ipar made a huge save. Vélez Juniors's Elpidio Vitin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Benedicto Tonete in the 40th minute of play. Islas FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Eustacio Inko in the 41st minute. Elpidio Vitin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Benedicto Tonete, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 48th minute, Eustacio Inko got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Eustacio Inko stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Vicente Ipar showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tiburcio Quinteros in the 53rd minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Islas FC's Jaime Eder got a free kick in the 75th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eustacio Inko in the 80th minute of play forced Vélez Juniors's goalkeeper Elpidio Vitin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Vicente Ipar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bernardo Sayvion in the 85th minute of play. 85 minutes into the match, Bernardo Sayvion had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Vicente Ipar. Islas FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bernardo Sayvion was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Vicente Ipar came out of the goal in the 94th minute to try and stop a shot by Vélez Juniors's Cristian Naike. But to his dismay, Cristian Naike quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. Vélez Juniors's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
