After 5 played minutes, Sportivo Branca F.C's Arnulfo Rios shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Abel Peter came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Sportivo Branca F.C reached it. After a defensive mix-up in Sportivo Branca F.C's zone, Paulo Stanislao stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bartolo Cheche came out of the goal and Paulo Stanislao tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Abel Peter took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Faustino Danel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

If Victor Lopez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The ball had pretty good speed, but Abel Peter firmly grabbed it by the left post. 43 minutes into the game, Victor Lopez cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Bartolo Cheche was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
