After recieving a nice pass, AFC FUSION's Leonides Txanton tried to score from far away in the 9th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Carolo Isidor took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Santo Patrido, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ciro Lando recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 22 minutes into the match, AFC FUSION's goal looked a bit too open when Santo Patrido came free, but Carolo Isidor reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Ciro Lando took the ball and in the 34 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cayetano Esdras. Cayetano Esdras dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 44th minute, Maximiliano Batista managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Cayetano Esdras breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cayetano Esdras made a fantastic save in the 48th minute, when Maximiliano Batista sent off a good shot on target. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ciro Lando was the one to do the kick off. When Ramiro Arnalt fell near the penalty area in the 51st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored AFC FUSION's protests and gave Ramiro Arnalt a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, AFC FUSION's Ramiro Arnalt got a free kick in the 51st minute. Ciro Lando blasted a shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Cayetano Esdras having to make a save.

But to his dismay, Ciro Lando quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. In the 64th minute, Domingo Madeo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
