An unexpectedly hard shot by Alvaro Playo in the 33rd minute of play forced Shadow F.C's goalkeeper Everardo Lano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 35th minute, Ezequiel Eskuin ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Anselmo Estefan was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. After a defensive mix-up in Shadow F.C's zone, Elpidio Regis stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Everardo Lano came out of the goal and Elpidio Regis tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 3-1.

Anselmo Estefan was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Elpidio Regis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Eustaquio Bela couldn't finish the play. If Elpidio Regis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
