The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

If Conrado Iban had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 61 minutes, Nicolas Chumo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Silva and the Saujil AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. When Robustiano Cordeiro came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the Saujil 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 Robustiano Cordeiro couldn't finish the play. 64 minutes into the game, Laureano Sabin recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Ignacio Louis. Laureano Sabin showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-2. Daniel Berasko fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcelo Miro having to interfere. Lázaro Jorrin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 72nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
