Spectators: 7509 (Terracing: 5632, Seating: 1727, VIP seats: 150) C.A. Identidad Soberana's Cornelio Eneas started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Remigio Piorno showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Strahil Kirichkov, who was totally free with the ball in the 3rd minute. In the 6th minute, Petar Arabadzhiev 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. Matey Manyov hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. Saltuk Arabacıoğlu was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 15th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Guillermo Txindoki. Зенит Церово's Todor Taranov was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Remigio Piorno in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Strahil Kirichkov struck a weak shot in the 23rd minute. Remigio Piorno didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Зенит Церово. After 30 played minutes, C.A. Identidad Soberana's Hilario Lucian shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Saltuk Arabacıoğlu came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in C.A. Identidad Soberana reached it. In the 35th minute of the match Hilario Lucian shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Saltuk Arabacıoğlu showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 36th minute, Marioara Coman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Strahil Kirichkov took the ball and in the 41 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Remigio Piorno. Remigio Piorno dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. In the 45th minute, Strahil Kirichkov 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. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

52 minutes into the game, Jeronimo Guipuzkoa threw the ball into play from the sideline. Зенит Церово's Marioara Coman quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Todor Taranov was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 56th minute. Зенит Церово's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 60 minutes into the match, Strahil Kirichkov notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of C.A. Identidad Soberana's Remigio Piorno. Remigio Piorno was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Anastasio Txema charged in rather forcefully in the 64th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Anastasio Txema the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 68th minute, Marioara Coman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Leo Deunoro kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. Remigio Piorno came out of the goal in the 73rd minute to try and stop a shot by Зенит Церово's Strahil Kirichkov. But to his dismay, Strahil Kirichkov quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. Remigio Piorno made a fantastic save in the 84th minute, when Strahil Kirichkov sent off a good shot on target. Remigio Piorno took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Strahil Kirichkov, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 91st minute, Strahil Kirichkov left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Зенит Церово fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. When Adan Enaut fell near the penalty area in the 95th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored C.A. Identidad Soberana's protests and gave Adan Enaut a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, C.A. Identidad Soberana's Adan Enaut got a free kick in the 96th minute. When the match was over Зенит Церово could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than C.A. Identidad Soberana throughout the match.
