Spectators: 7696 (Terracing: 5773, Seating: 1770, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Dimitry Lyakhnenko kicked off to start the match. When Ceferino Seber fell near the penalty area in the 2nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Legacy Youth Academy's protests and gave Ceferino Seber a yellow card for diving instead. In the 3rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Legacy Youth Academy's goalkeeper Lisandro Rameriz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Sergio Nahia's late challenge caught a Atletic Elooo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sergio Nahia helped the player get up and apologised. Ariel Nuxila came free with the goalkeeper in the 9th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Lisandro Rameriz could save by the left post. The supporters of Legacy Youth Academy booed when Atletic Elooo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ariel Nuxila didn't get a good kick on the ball.

When Benito Guillen came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the Legacy Youth Academy 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 Benito Guillen couldn't finish the play. In the 33rd minute Filomeno Eufrasio collided with an opponent which caused him a fractured collar bone. After 33 minutes, Ramiro Videl mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Legacy Youth Academy and the Atletic Elooo players grew even worse after the yellow card.
