Pascual Sayveon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the Pegan y pegamos defense, Eustaquio Eliazar kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Philippe-Arnaud Theijs. The Pegan y pegamos fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Philippe-Arnaud Theijs should have stopped the shot.

Benicio Beltxe hit a great ball.

Joaquin Martxel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute.

Futsal Regatas Mendoza's supporters rose to their feet, but Eustaquio Eliazar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Philippe-Arnaud Theijs breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Gervasio Mambru stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Futsal Regatas Mendoza's Benicio Beltxe got a free kick in the 51st minute. Pegan y pegamos's Gervasio Mambru managed to work through Futsal Regatas Mendoza's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Gervasio Mambru dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. When Lucas Quintun fell near the penalty area in the 54th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Futsal Regatas Mendoza's protests and gave Lucas Quintun a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Pegan y pegamos booed when Futsal Regatas Mendoza was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mauro Benvido didn't get a good kick on the ball.

After 61 minutes, Pascual Sayveon made it 3-0 with a short kick to the right side. Pegan y pegamos's Philippe-Arnaud Theijs tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Pegan y pegamos's Philippe-Arnaud Theijs played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eustaquio Eliazar in the 71st minute of play. The audience was convinced that Lucas Quintun's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Philippe-Arnaud Theijs was relentless in the 72nd minute of the game. In the 73rd minute, Virgilio Lucila hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Benicio Beltxe in the 77th minute of play forced Pegan y pegamos's goalkeeper Philippe-Arnaud Theijs to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
