Spectators: 157 (Terracing: 118, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nestor Ritchie kicked off to start the match. Carmelo Avalos had several of the Gutenberg's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 6 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Sebastian Rojelio as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 10th minute Fausto Peruanton shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gabriel Sologuren saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gutenberg's Tiburcio Ovando quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Hanamichi Sakuragi, made in the 15th minute of the game. In the 18th minute, Fausto Peruanton made a precise shot to the right of Gabriel Sologuren. General Velásquez's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. Alarico Laso de la Vega sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sebastian Rojelio made a fantastic save in the 24th minute, when Pere Sáenz sent off a good shot on target. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fausto Peruanton in the 30th minute of play forced General Velásquez's goalkeeper Gabriel Sologuren to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gabriel Sologuren showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tiburcio Ovando, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 33rd minute of the game. One of General Velásquez:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Gutenberg:s goal. After a rather tough play, General Velásquez's Eustacio Delgado got a free kick in the 42nd minute. After some careless play in the General Velásquez defense, Fausto Peruanton kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gabriel Sologuren. The General Velásquez fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gabriel Sologuren should have stopped the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Pere Sáenz made the kick off in the second half. After 54 played minutes Gutenberg got a freekick which was hit by Faustino Pedroso. Fausto Peruanton recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sarracino Owen kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match. In the 64th minute, Tiburcio Ovando 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. Nestor Ritchie charged in rather forcefully in the 65th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Nestor Ritchie the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 74th minute, Teodoro Jerrald hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Nestor Ritchie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gabriel Sologuren showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fausto Peruanton in the 81st minute of the match. The crowd rose to their feet as Gutenberg's Tiburcio Ovando slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Gabriel Sologuren. That made the score 1-4 after 88 minutes of play. If Carmelo Avalos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Gutenberg had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
