In the 11th minute, Alfredo Ekialde hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bonifacio Basualdo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bernabe Cuarto, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute. 26 minutes into the match, Encón's goal looked a bit too open when Alejo Balendin came free, but Bonifacio Basualdo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Adolfo Bento managed to get in a good position for a shot. Encón's supporters rose to their feet, but Adolfo Bento was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. German Basualdo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Bonifacio Basualdo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alejo Balendin in the 32nd minute of the match. In the 40th minute Alejo Balendin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bonifacio Basualdo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Clodoveo Asur made a kick off. After a rather tough play, Strandvik IL's German Euloxu got a free kick in the 51st minute. Bernabe Cuarto was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 58th minute. Strandvik IL's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 61 minutes into the match, Strandvik IL's Bernabe Cuarto sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Bonifacio Basualdo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 63rd minute, Candido Eutropio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Candido Eutropio during the 68th minute.
