Hernan Ramos scored 0-2 in the 33rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Anacleto Mergildo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Without hesitation aimed to the right of Waclaw Merski, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Elvio Urtungo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Waclaw Merski having to interfere. When Urbano Hug came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Tambillos 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 Urbano Hug couldn't finish the play. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Eustacio Manuelo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. A nice corner shot did that Teobaldo Cheche got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Waclaw Merski quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save.

In the 73rd minute, Eustacio Manuelo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Waclaw Merski was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. After a rather tough play, Movimiento 26 de Julio's Hernan Ramos got a free kick in the 77th minute. If Teobaldo Cheche had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 80th minute the ball was on its way in behind Movimiento 26 de Julio's goalkeeper Waclaw Merski, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Ernesto Ralondo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tambillos's supporters rose to their feet, but Ernesto Ralondo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Waclaw Merski breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Eustacio Manuelo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 89th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

The referee showed Urbano Restu the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
