In the 8th minute of the match Hungary got a corner. Deportivo Luz y Fuerza's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag.

After a rather tough play, Hungary's Bakos Endre got a free kick in the 14th minute. Rigoberto Argider struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Fodor Daniel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Deportivo Luz y Fuerza. After 17 minutes of play, Deportivo Luz y Fuerza's Rigoberto Argider made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Siro Artaldo couldn't finish the play. 45 minutes into the game, Thibault Moon was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Deportivo Luz y Fuerza's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Hungary the free kick.

The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Rigoberto Argider was the one to do the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Hungary's goal looked a bit too open when Rigoberto Argider came free, but Fodor Daniel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Major Barna had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 71st minute, Antal Valentin reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Martin Leheren. The goal made the score 1-2. After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Rigoberto Argider managed to get in a good position for a shot.
