Ariel Odilon might have been able to make a better finish in the 5th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Gino Santana. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ariel Odilon ran back to his position shaking his head. With an all-out effort, Pico Fútbol Club's Alfonso Lauren threw himself towards the right post 7 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Edgardo Rivero, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After 8 played minutes Diablos Rojos got a freekick which was hit by Silvestre Godoy. Diablos Rojos's Alfonso Lauren played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Edgardo Rivero in the 12th minute of play.

Gino Santana tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Pico Fútbol Club's Ezequiel Libertad got a free kick in the 20th minute. Hilario Goi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Martin Igon's late challenge caught a Diablos Rojos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

After a rather tough play, Diablos Rojos's Silvano Lapurdi got a free kick in the 55th minute. Silvano Lapurdi stood ready after the free kick and tried to head the ball into the goal, but got pushed from behind by one of Pico Fútbol Club's defenders and the ball went out.

An unexpected shot in the 70th minute by Ariel Odilon got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After having played for 82 minutes, Marco Frasco managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pico Fútbol Club's supporters crossed their fingers, but Marco Frasco was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ariel Odilon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Gino Santana tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
