Geronimo Galtero recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 13th minute Fausto Victoro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marco Azubeli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Marco Azubeli didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Fausto Victoro went, in the 15th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score.
