Evaristo Xacintu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Emilio Colas came up free with the goalie in the 19th minute, the Tello AFC 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 Emilio Colas couldn't finish the play. 21 minutes into the match, Emilio Colas had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Evaristo Xacintu.

The audience thought a goal was coming when German Veto got free with Dionisio Matia in the 25th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The corner led Q. T. I.'s Rolando Su to fire away a dangerous shot which Dionisio Matia despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 29th minute, Emilio Colas made a precise shot to the right of Evaristo Xacintu. Q. T. I.'s defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3.

In the 81st minute Astor Berart shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dionisio Matia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
