In the 10th minute, Limaxina's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Valentín Paez fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post.

The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Adam Raffo showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball.

In the 18th minute, Sandro Vives hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Justino Feldman, 20 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal.

In the 44thth minute of the game Eriberto Justiniano who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Zapiga AFC's Adam Raffo was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When Arnaldo Disselkoen came up free with the goalie in the 46th minute, the Limaxina 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 Arnaldo Disselkoen couldn't finish the play. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eriberto Justiniano to make the kick off. When the match clock showed 62 minutes, the score became 1-0 when David Israel Achurra sped through Limaxina's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Rafael Henson. Francisco Antonio Barbaste lost his temper 68 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. If Arnaldo Disselkoen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Eriberto Justiniano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Zapiga AFC's Adam Raffo got control of the ball when Arnaldo Disselkoen tried to sneak it across the goal line.
