Spectators: 148 (Terracing: 112, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 2) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jimeno Dalmu started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute of the match Aldo Cresconio shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Albano Betadur showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 4th match minute, AL TOKE FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eloy Seguinus to maneuver through the defense. Isidoro Baristo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Genaro Tabb hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. 12 minutes into the match, AL TOKE FC's goal looked a bit too open when Isidoro Baristo came free, but Albano Betadur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Eloy Seguinus received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Cornelio Asteri came out and tried to block the shot, but Eloy Seguinus slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 14th minute. Jimeno Dalmu took the ball and in the 17 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cornelio Asteri. Cornelio Asteri dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0. If Jimeno Dalmu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cornelio Asteri stood somewhat misplaced when Genaro Tabb came free in front of goal and shot 3-0 to the left of him in the 23 minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Genaro Tabb got free with Cornelio Asteri in the 26th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 27thth minute of the game Isidoro Baristo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but AL TOKE FC's Albano Betadur was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 30 minutes into the match, Genaro Tabb had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cornelio Asteri. Guansa's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Genaro Tabb was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0. Guansa's Bonifacio Uzuri managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Froilan Transito in the 33 minute of the game. With a little luck, Guansa's Cornelio Asteri got control of the ball when Genaro Tabb tried to sneak it across the goal line. Bonifacio Uzuri's late challenge caught a AL TOKE FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Bonifacio Uzuri helped the player get up and apologised. In the 41st match minute, Guansa was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bonifacio Uzuri to maneuver through the defense. 45 minutes into the match, Guansa's Isidoro Baristo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Albano Betadur narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Isidoro Baristo came up free with the goalie in the 46th minute, the Guansa 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 Isidoro Baristo couldn't finish the play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 4-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Isidoro Baristo to make the kick off. In the 50th minute, Genaro Tabb hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Guansa's Isidoro Baristo got a good chance for a goal in the 52nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 56th minute, Guansa's Anier Pedroso ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Albano Betadur. Albano Betadur yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 4-1. In the 61st minute, Adolfo Ariando hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

In the 75th minute, Eloy Seguinus 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. Albano Betadur stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Isidoro Baristo's shot from short distance in the 80th minute.
