Marco Colsa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Ricardo Casals tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A hard shot 15 in the game by Balesio Duarte from a close distance when the talented Ricardo Casals managed to make a qualified save. Roquetes AFC's players were relieved. In the 16th minute Marco Colsa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardo Casals saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Marco Colsa to make the kick off. 55 minutes into the match, Balesio Duarte notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Roquetes AFC's Ricardo Casals.
