7000 spectators arrived at Chiriqui Campo, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.

The following players took the field: Anaya - Lopez, Castillo, Pedregal, Alvarado - Arangure, Cachú Fernández, Moyetón, Amezcua - Vallejo, Carmona.

Penonome tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. They fielded: Nozzetti - Brandt, Cuervo, Giménez Zapiola - Găman, Karbowa, Jelenić, Toureau - Hollstein, Apaza, Bregoli.

Penonome showed off their creative tactics. The home keeper expected a move to the right, but G. Toureau surprised him with a free kick aimed the other way 22 minutes into the match. 0 - 1 for Penonome. There was concern in the stands when, at the 31 minute mark, Penonome's G. Bregoli hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. The visitors' B. Karbowa took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 36 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Penonome. After 43 minutes, Penonome's P. Jelenić burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. Penonome increased their lead after 44 minutes when A. Apaza broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Penonome, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

Chiriqui's S. Arangure showed his experience after 52 minutes, as he expertly set himself up to take advantage of a rebound off the crossbar, but his shot was tipped harmlessly out of the way. Some fine movement on the left led to a Penonome goal after 63 minutes, making it 0 - 5. L. Giménez Zapiola was noted down as the scorer. Confident in their lead, Penonome's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 70 minutes into the game, T. Moyetón had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came A. Pérez. After 72 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Apaza who increased Penonome's lead to 0 - 6. With 77 minutes played, Penonome put themselves up 0 - 7 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was V. Găman. The referee showed Chiriqui's A. Pérez the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 86 minutes Chiriqui's C. Amezcua contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Chiriqui's C. Vallejo left the field after 88 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Parme. Penonome had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

Chiriqui's top performer was clearly E. Carmona. A. Lopez on the other hand, had a terrible day. Penonome's best player was L. Giménez Zapiola. On the other hand, J. Hollstein's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 7.
