Spectators: 140 (Terracing: 106, Seating: 32, VIP seats: 2) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jaime Cordero took the kick off in the first half of the match. Mauricio Luken hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. 8 minutes into the match, Jonas Tauro had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Marcelo Eufemio. Racing Club【LBF】's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Jonas Tauro was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. After some careless play in the Racing Club【LBF】 defense, Jonas Tauro kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Marcelo Eufemio. The Racing Club【LBF】 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Marcelo Eufemio should have stopped the shot. Leonel Caponi struck a weak shot in the 15th minute.

In the 23rd minute, Daryl Adcock hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jonas Tauro hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Jonas Tauro managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Marcelo Eufemio breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Racing Club【LBF】 were awarded a corner in the 45th minute after Club Atlético Escocia's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Gogo Geleberto took the corner. The corner led Racing Club【LBF】's Gogo Geleberto to fire away a dangerous shot which Roberto-Carlos Abbondanzieri despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Leonel Caponi to strike the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the match, Club Atlético Escocia's goal looked a bit too open when Federico Orlanda came free, but Roberto-Carlos Abbondanzieri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 80 minutes into the game, Isaac Santos was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
