In the 6th match minute, Fire Dragon F.C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Perlaza Campo to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Valerio Manglano in the 8th minute of play forced Fire Dragon F.C.'s goalkeeper Zadornin Hortiz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Roldan Basanta hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. After 10 played minutes, Dep. Kito's Zilar Soldevilla shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Zadornin Hortiz came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Dep. Kito reached it. Alfonso Notes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to Dep. Kito getting a freekick after 19 minutes play. Checa Carballal hit a great ball. With a little luck, Dep. Kito's Parrales Riofrio got control of the ball when Checa Loureiro tried to sneak it across the goal line. The supporters of Dep. Kito booed when Fire Dragon F.C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Roldan Basanta didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 32nd minute, Elvis Rubiero 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. Alfonso Notes took the ball and in the 38 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Zadornin Hortiz. Zadornin Hortiz dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. 42 minutes into the match, Fire Dragon F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Alfonso Notes came free, but Zadornin Hortiz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

After a defensive mix-up in Fire Dragon F.C.'s zone, Valerio Manglano stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zadornin Hortiz came out of the goal and Valerio Manglano tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Zadornin Hortiz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Valerio Manglano, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Valerio Manglano in the 60th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Zadornin Hortiz saved Fire Dragon F.C. from getting behind. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Checa Loureiro in the 66th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Parrales Riofrio prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Dep. Kito's Valerio Manglano was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 69th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. Fire Dragon F.C.'s Elvis Rubiero got a good chance for a goal in the 75th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Elvis Rubiero recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Checa Loureiro might have been able to make a better finish in the 87th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Parrales Riofrio. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Checa Loureiro ran back to his position shaking his head. When Fire Dragon F.C.'s Elvis Rubiero in the 93rd minute got a chance for a shot 93rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Dep. Kito's goalie prevented a goal. In the 95th minute Elvis Rubiero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Parrales Riofrio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Dep. Kito's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
