After having played for 10 minutes, Jose Rojas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Nibiru X's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jose Rojas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 16 minutes into the match, Esteban Salomon had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Kamiel Ingelborgh.
