Spectators: 148 (Terracing: 112, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 2) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Pablo Abar struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Paulino Onofre didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Natus Vincere F.C..
