With a couple of smart ball manuevers Arturo Flores in the 4th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Cecilio Refugio saved Cachiyuyo EAS from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alberto Calvino in the 6th minute of play forced C. A. Atlanta's goalkeeper Silvano Dominguez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Rodolfo Etxepare hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. If Eriberto Bernaldo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Cecilio Refugio was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Arturo Flores showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 10 minute of play. 20 minutes into the match, Cachiyuyo EAS's Eriberto Bernaldo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Silvano Dominguez narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Eriberto Bernaldo was the one to do the kick off. In the 57th minute Arturo Flores shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cecilio Refugio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Miguel Cordarrell sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Eriberto Bernaldo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 67th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The audience was convinced that Arturo Flores's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cecilio Refugio was relentless in the 73rd minute of the game. 75 minutes into the match, Arturo Flores had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cecilio Refugio. Cachiyuyo EAS's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Arturo Flores was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-1. When Miguel Cordarrell came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the C. A. Atlanta 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 Miguel Cordarrell couldn't finish the play. In the 82nd minute, Cachiyuyo EAS's Eriberto Bernaldo dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 4-2. Arnoldo Weterio's late challenge caught a C. A. Atlanta's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Arnoldo Weterio helped the player get up and apologised. Arnoldo Weterio kicked well hit freekick during the 85th minute of the match. Augusto Aresti was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 87 minutes into the match. The referee gave C. A. Atlanta a penalty, 88 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Valentin Cefero, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Cachiyuyo EAS's Cecilio Refugio. 5-2. When the match had gone on for 93 minutes, Rodolfo Etxepare put it in 6-2 from a short distance just to the right of Cecilio Refugio.
