Spectators: 47 (Terracing: 36, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) Sergio Floto made the kick off and thus started the match. The supporters of SICARIOS Fútbol Club booed when Zorros del Desierto was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vladimiro Barroso didn't get a good kick on the ball. Abelardo Escerza made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sergio Floto in the 9th minute of play. If Salvador Labra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 16th minute, Camilo Pino made a precise shot to the right of Laurín Grebe. SICARIOS Fútbol Club's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1.

Sergio Floto showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-1. 41 minutes into the match, Zorros del Desierto's goal looked a bit too open when Ricart Lauwerens came free, but Abelardo Escerza reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 44 minutes into the match, Mannuel Cofquecura had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Laurín Grebe.

Adelmo Ortuño hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match.
