Spectators: 7458 (Terracing: 5594, Seating: 1715, VIP seats: 149) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Jorge Domenec made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, Qijua F.C's Tiago Gabriel Machado got a free kick in the 5th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Americo Berriotxoa in the 13th minute of play forced Qijua F.C's goalkeeper Natã Brodel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Amadeu Eger recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The supporters of Qijua F.C booed when Family siempre was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alejo Mannie didn't get a good kick on the ball. 26 minutes into the match, Qijua F.C's Amadeu Eger sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Arnulfo Cresenciano narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 28 minutes into the match, Eustaquio Stephen notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Qijua F.C's Natã Brodel. Natã Brodel was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. A collision led to Family siempre getting a freekick after 32 minutes play. Nunez Hitzeder hit a great ball. With an all-out effort, Qijua F.C's Arnulfo Cresenciano threw himself towards the right post 34 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Thiago Britto, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After having played for 36 minutes, Júnior da Mata managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Qijua F.C's supporters crossed their fingers, but Júnior da Mata was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 41 minutes, Americo Berriotxoa mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Family siempre and the Qijua F.C players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 41st minute, Americo Berriotxoa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Amadeu Eger's late challenge caught a Family siempre's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Amadeu Eger helped the player get up and apologised. After 46 played minutes Qijua F.C got a freekick which was hit by Amadeu Eger. Zé Carlos Albuquerque hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Thiago Britto to make the kick off. Júnior da Mata fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arnulfo Cresenciano having to interfere. Arnulfo Cresenciano stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Thiago Britto's shot from short distance in the 55th minute. 57 minutes into the game, Thiago Britto was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Qijua F.C's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Family siempre the free kick. In the 57th minute, Thiago Britto hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the match clock showed 66 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Americo Berriotxoa sped through Qijua F.C's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Natã Brodel. When Eustaquio Stephen came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Family siempre 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 Eustaquio Stephen couldn't finish the play. Natã Brodel didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Haroldo Eron went, in the 74th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. Amadeu Eger hit a great freekick 77 minutes into the match. In the 89th minute Thiago Britto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arnulfo Cresenciano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Qijua F.C's Natã Brodel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jorge Domenec in the 91st minute of play. Qijua F.C were furious when Zé Carlos Albuquerque was red carded, 92 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 96th minute of the match, Americo Berriotxoa got a very nice opportunity to score, but Natã Brodel was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Family siempre were delighted with the way they had won the match. They had held their defensive line well and made the most of their chances, to claim a victory over Qijua F.C's much stronger midfield.
