Melchor Oliverio started the match with the kick off. Stan Weigle hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Carmelo Bemabe in the 8th minute of play forced Yacanto AFC's goalkeeper Alejandro Hanni to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

If Esteban Mon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Edelmiro Cordeara struck a weak shot in the 16th minute. Alejandro Hanni didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cordobita.
