Spectators: 7524 (Terracing: 5644, Seating: 1730, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Romulo Locaio showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mauro Millan in the 95th minute of the match. The FalconsB FCB fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Mezh Team were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
