Manuel Rico's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 7thth minute, Hermengildo Gonsalvo skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Nicolas Eguntsenti received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Hermengildo Gonsalvo came out and tried to block the shot, but Nicolas Eguntsenti slotted it home off the left post making it 1-1 in the 15th minute. In the 19th minute, Daniel Lixandro got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Silvinho Cunha in the 20th minute of play forced Sportivo Barracas's goalkeeper Gervasio Millano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 22 minutes into the match, Amadeo Louis notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Sportivo Barracas's Gervasio Millano. Gervasio Millano was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 27 minutes into the match, Ivan Todor had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gervasio Millano. Sportivo Barracas's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ivan Todor was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. After having played for 30 minutes, Manuel Rico managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sportivo Barracas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Manuel Rico was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 34 minutes had been played when some careless play by Sportivo Barracas's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Silvinho Cunha was slow to take the kick. During this time Sportivo DeContra's players had a chance to rest. Sportivo DeContra's Silvinho Cunha was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Gervasio Millano in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Manuel Rico's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Hermengildo Gonsalvo firmly grabbed it by the left post. 43 minutes into the match, Sportivo Barracas's goal looked a bit too open when Amadeo Louis came free, but Gervasio Millano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 44th minute, Silvinho Cunha got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Sportivo Barracas's Gervasio Millano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Amadeo Louis in the 45th minute of play. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-3.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Silvinho Cunha was the one to do the kick off. When Nicolas Eguntsenti came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Sportivo Barracas 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 Nicolas Eguntsenti couldn't finish the play. In the 53rd minute, Cedrik Valckeneers hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 57 played minutes Sportivo DeContra got a freekick which was hit by Ivan Todor. 58 minutes in the game Lucas Quinito did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Silvinho Cunha. Gervasio Millano made a fantastic save in the 60th minute, when Amadeo Louis sent off a good shot on target. 61 minutes into the match, Sportivo DeContra's goal looked a bit too open when Nicolas Eguntsenti came free, but Hermengildo Gonsalvo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sportivo DeContra's Hermengildo Gonsalvo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Manuel Rico in the 62nd minute of play. Nicolas Eguntsenti recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 64th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Cedrik Valckeneers sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Gervasio Millano made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Silvinho Cunha in the 70th minute of play. Carlinhos Barros received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Gervasio Millano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 75 minutes, Cedrik Valckeneers mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sportivo Barracas and the Sportivo DeContra players grew even worse after the yellow card. Cedrik Valckeneers kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. If Silvinho Cunha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sportivo Barracas's Apolo Guillen was substituted for Nicolas Eguntsenti. Ivan Todor kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. Gervasio Millano showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Amadeo Louis in the 92nd minute of the match.
