Bautista Villalba breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

When Kristóf Végh came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Sitani fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Kristóf Végh couldn't finish the play. When Wilfredo Mesina fell near the penalty area in the 19th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

In the 20th minute, Antoni Sobczak hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 27 played minutes Sitani got a freekick which was hit by Zavier Allison.

After a defensive mix-up in Yumbel's zone, Pietro Serey stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bautista Villalba came out of the goal and Pietro Serey tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 69 minutes of play, Sitani's Kristóf Végh made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

In the 92nd minute, one of Sitani:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Sitani. Demetrio Garcés shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Sitani's Albert Monje played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Estebano Bastías in the 97th minute of play.
