Spectators: 145 (Terracing: 110, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alvaro Niguel kicked off to start the match. The audience was convinced that Anselmo Indar's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Camilo Gagriel was relentless in the 3rd minute of the game. When Antonio Ireno came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Club Atletico Chusca fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Antonio Ireno couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Huckebein's Camilo Gagriel got control of the ball when Anselmo Indar tried to sneak it across the goal line. Alvaro Giraldo's late challenge caught a Club Atletico Chusca's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alvaro Giraldo helped the player get up and apologised. After 14 played minutes Huckebein got a freekick which was hit by Alvaro Giraldo. Anselmo Indar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Camilo Gagriel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Celestino Fonda in the 18th minute of play. Anselmo Indar in the 19thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Camilo Gagriel, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Camilo Gagriel stood somewhat misplaced when Anselmo Indar came free in front of goal and shot 1-0 to the left of him in the 19 minute. After a rather tough play, Huckebein's Rene Goi got a free kick in the 26th minute. In the 28thth minute of the game Anselmo Indar who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Huckebein's Camilo Gagriel was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Club Atletico Chusca's Tiburcio Maore played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Armando Tadzio in the 34th minute of play. If Antonio Ireno had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Anselmo Indar made a kick off. Camilo Gagriel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Celestino Fonda in the 55th minute of play. In the 57th match minute, Huckebein was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alvaro Giraldo to maneuver through the defense. When Joel Abilio came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Club Atletico Chusca fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Joel Abilio couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Club Atletico Chusca's Freddy Gil got a free kick in the 60th minute. In a very dangerous position, a player in Huckebein fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 61st minute. Penalty! The referee gave Club Atletico Chusca a penalty, 64 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Joel Abilio, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Huckebein's Camilo Gagriel. 2-0. Antonio Ireno sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Huckebein's zone, Celestino Fonda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Camilo Gagriel came out of the goal and Celestino Fonda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Antonio Ireno in the 74th minute of play forced Huckebein's goalkeeper Camilo Gagriel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Antonio Ireno struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Camilo Gagriel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Club Atletico Chusca. With his leg Tiburcio Maore managed to avoid a goal in the 81stth minute, when Huckebein's Clemente Felipo fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. If Armando Tadzio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Clemente Felipo during the 88th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to Huckebein getting a freekick after 88 minutes play. Clemente Felipo hit a great ball. Alvaro Niguel charged in rather forcefully in the 96th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

The supporters of Club Atletico Chusca booed when Huckebein was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alvaro Niguel didn't get a good kick on the ball. When the referee blew the final whistle, Club Atletico Chusca could leave the field as winners, despite Huckebein having more of the ball for most of the match.
