Moises Quilino kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. Joaquin Koldobika lost his temper 10 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 9th minute of the game. One of Naranjero:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Galácticos Fútbol Club:s goal. When Mauro Salvadore came up free with the goalie in the 18th minute, the Galácticos Fútbol Club fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Mauro Salvadore couldn't finish the play. The throw-in from Basilio Etxatxu in the 27th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Naranjero's Siro Nel. The audience thought a goal was coming when Siro Nel got free with Albano Oliverios in the 27th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 31 minutes into the match, Naranjero's goal looked a bit too open when Agustin Izel came free, but Enzo Perico reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Galácticos Fútbol Club's supporters rose to their feet, but Agustin Izel was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
