When the match had gone on for 53 minutes, Bennvar Galloway put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Dante Lacasa. After a defensive mix-up in Tre Starka's zone, Alberto Tafalla stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Joel Gaona took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 61st minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Vukašin Hadžiđulbić.

In the 64th minute, Lautaro Mancebo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Lautaro Mancebo scored 1-2 in the 78th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Vukašin Hadžiđulbić, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Luca Zorita made a great header on Mexico's corner, it was just that Tre Starka's Vukašin Hadžiđulbić managed to reach the ball for a save.

The tension between the Tre Starka and the Mexico players grew even worse after the yellow card. Dante Lacasa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pinki Pied, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mexico played a much better game than Tre Starka and deserved their victory. The Tre Starka players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
