Tadeo Socorro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tiburcio Lapurdi in the 53rd minute of play. 53 minutes into the game, Tiburcio Lapurdi cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Tadeo Socorro was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.

Moises Corderun ran back to his position shaking his head. Pedro Cefero's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tadeo Socorro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 66th minute of play.

Tadeo Socorro was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Tiburcio Lapurdi fell near the penalty area in the 82nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gnk N Roll's protests and gave Tiburcio Lapurdi a yellow card for diving instead. In the 84th minute, Isaias Rudolfo got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Isaias Rudolfo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 90 minutes, Isaias Rudolfo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gnk N Roll's supporters crossed their fingers, but Isaias Rudolfo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
