Spectators: 7505 (Terracing: 5629, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cleto Lizbeth made the kick off which started today's match. If Jonas Lekubegi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, LA InDuStRiA INC's Blas Eron got a free kick in the 12th minute. Zuberoa Mesia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cornelio Abadie having to interfere. 24 minutes into the match, Zuberoa Mesia had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cornelio Abadie. LA InDuStRiA INC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zuberoa Mesia was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Jonas Lekubegi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Santino Mora tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Club Deportivo Santiago getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. Jairo Adames hit a great ball. 41 minutes into the game, Jonas Lekubegi cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Santino Mora was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 43rd minute Jonas Lekubegi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Santino Mora saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jonas Lekubegi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Santino Mora having to interfere. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Arturo Montiel to strike the kick off in the second half. A collision led to Club Deportivo Santiago getting a freekick after 71 minutes play. Zeru Mendana hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jonas Lekubegi in the 73rd minute of play forced Club Deportivo Santiago's goalkeeper Santino Mora to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cornelio Abadie took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Evelio Terres, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 82 minutes into the match, LA InDuStRiA INC's goal looked a bit too open when Zuberoa Mesia came free, but Cornelio Abadie reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Arturo Montiel took the ball and in the 85 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cornelio Abadie. Cornelio Abadie dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. Arturo Montiel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Club Deportivo Santiago booed when LA InDuStRiA INC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tobias Basajaun didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jonas Lekubegi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 95th minute. Santino Mora tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
