Vladimiro Bastida started the match with the kick off. 9 minutes into the game, Vladimiro Bastida recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Norberto Jimenez. Vladimiro Bastida showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Poncio Gimeno managed to get in a good position for a shot. Villa Sol FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Poncio Gimeno was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Casado Cardeñosa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 17th minute of the game. One of Villa Sol FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Mougas AFC:s goal.

Poncio Gimeno recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 33rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Casado Cardeñosa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Orlando Salazar in the 36th minute of play. In the 37th match minute, Mougas AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Quintan Gómez to maneuver through the defense. In the 38th minute Orlando Salazar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Casado Cardeñosa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Mougas AFC's zone, Orlando Salazar stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Casado Cardeñosa came out of the goal and Orlando Salazar tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Poncio Gimeno sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Orlando Salazar was the one to do the kick off. When Arbas Arratia fell near the penalty area in the 55th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Villa Sol FC's protests and gave Arbas Arratia a yellow card for diving instead. After recieving a nice pass, Mougas AFC's Omar Unzueta tried to score from far away in the 56th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Omar Unzueta took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 60th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Norberto Jimenez. Villa Sol FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Villa Sol FC's Orlando Salazar in the 63rd minute got a chance for a shot 63rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Mougas AFC's goalie prevented a goal. Batista Nafría sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 74th minute of the game. One of Villa Sol FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Mougas AFC:s goal. A hard and well directed shot from Omar Unzueta led 77 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Villa Sol FC's Norberto Jimenez became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 3-1. 83 minutes into the match, Villa Sol FC's goal looked a bit too open when Vladimiro Bastida came free, but Norberto Jimenez reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Poncio Gimeno had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Orlando Salazar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Casado Cardeñosa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Norberto Jimenez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vladimiro Bastida, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mougas AFC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Villa Sol FC for a fine match.
