Reynaldo Abella sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 41stth minute of the game Albano Fidencio who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Luisana Lopilato F.C.'s Claudio Quinten was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

53 minutes into the match, Albano Fidencio dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Claudio Quinten, 1-2. After a defensive mix-up in Luisana Lopilato F.C.'s zone, Anselmo Txerran stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

When the match was over Python could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Luisana Lopilato F.C. throughout the match.
