The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 28 minutes into the match, Omar Aballe notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Lobo Norte's Patrik Sjöberg.

When Lorenzo Columbo came up free with the goalie in the 75th minute, the Lobo Norte 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 Lorenzo Columbo couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Rincón FC's zone, Omar Birila stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Isaac Belasko came out of the goal and Omar Birila tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Arnoldo Escobar fell near the penalty area in the 80th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Rincón FC's protests and gave Arnoldo Escobar a yellow card for diving instead. Arnoldo Escobar hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match.

When the final whistle went the supporters of Rincón FC were delighted that their team had defeated the much more dominant Lobo Norte side.
