Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Lazaro Dias got the match started through his kick off.

Xayvion Darripe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mogel Sotuela in the 11th minute of play forced Montevideo Torque's goalkeeper Montrelle Forteza to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Hechter Cubian hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. If Lazaro Dias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 19 minutes into the match, CERRO FC's goalkeeper Goyo Balerdi had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Fermin Riofrio.

The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 46 minutes into the match, Montevideo Torque's Fermin Riofrio sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Goyo Balerdi narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Mogel Sotuela was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fermin Riofrio in the 53rd minute of play forced CERRO FC's goalkeeper Goyo Balerdi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The Montevideo Torque fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. The supporters of CERRO FC booed when Montevideo Torque was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Imanol Menchaca didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 61st minute, Segio Ceceil sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Montevideo Torque's Montrelle Forteza didn't even have to move. Montrelle Forteza showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mogel Sotuela, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Guillen Helguera during the 67th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Lazaro Dias scored 2-1 in the 70th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Goyo Balerdi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The referee showed Marco Doles the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 74th match minute, CERRO FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marco Doles to maneuver through the defense. After a rather tough play, CERRO FC's Caetano Aubets got a free kick in the 81st minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Fermin Riofrio managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Goyo Balerdi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Guillen Helguera fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Goyo Balerdi having to interfere. 89 minutes into the match, Fermin Riofrio had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Goyo Balerdi. CERRO FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Fermin Riofrio was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. When Ramond Zapico fell near the penalty area in the 92nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Montevideo Torque's protests and gave Ramond Zapico a yellow card for diving instead.
