Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Artemio Matro to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute Victor Caton shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Osvaldo Orlanda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 53 minutes into the game, Angel Acuña cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1.

A wasted opportunity for Alumni Fc. 81 minutes into the match, Vicente Gonzo notched a goal, 1-4, to the right of Espeleta FC's Osvaldo Orlanda. Osvaldo Orlanda was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Victor Caton received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Osvaldo Orlanda tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
