Josu Duarte showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Luisito Sever in the 46th minute of the match. After 48 played minutes Scavino got a freekick which was hit by Castel Bazan. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

If Oriol Picado had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Scavino's Lawrence Tato played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Isidoro Vasquez in the 59th minute of play. Oriol Picado sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Zernin Mendizabal could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 63rd minute of the match, but Josu Duarte made a huge save. Urbano Leicea kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. When Oriol Picado came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Echevarria 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 Oriol Picado couldn't finish the play. After 71 played minutes Scavino got a freekick which was hit by Mateus Valero. In the 72nd minute, Cordarin Villalpando sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Scavino's Lawrence Tato didn't even have to move. After having played for 74 minutes, Oriol Picado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Echevarria AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Oriol Picado was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Isidoro Vasquez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Peio Faria charged in rather forcefully in the 85th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Peio Faria the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Echevarria AFC booed when Scavino was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. Peio Faria didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 90th minute the ball was on its way in behind Scavino's goalkeeper Lawrence Tato, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Peio Faria was shown his second yellow card after 91 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. A collision led to Scavino getting a freekick after 92 minutes play. Peio Faria hit a great ball. Zernin Mendizabal was extremely unlucky when he, in the 98th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Echevarria AFC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
