After a rather tough play, Zorzal Roäc Football Club's Osvaldo Milio got a free kick in the 10th minute.

In the 17th minute, Ruperto Pirro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 25th minute, Niceto Tajo 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. Casimiro Firman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Natalio Harkaitz having to interfere. Marciano Intxixu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Natalio Harkaitz having to interfere.

The wind increased when Ramiro Mercurio made the kick off in the second half. In the 54thth minute of the game Marciano Intxixu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Zorzal Roäc Football Club's Natalio Harkaitz was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Ramiro Mercurio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Los Monos's Benigno Salomone got control of the ball when Niceto Tajo tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 66 played minutes Los Monos got a freekick which was hit by Marciano Intxixu. 67 minutes into the match, Los Monos's goal looked a bit too open when Ramiro Mercurio came free, but Benigno Salomone reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Benigno Salomone stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ramiro Mercurio's shot from short distance in the 69th minute. Niceto Tajos short, quick shot in the 72ndth minute got Benigno Salomone to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Niceto Tajo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Benigno Salomone tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Natalio Harkaitz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Casimiro Firman in the 90th minute of play. Los Monos's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Ruperto Pirro in the 100th minute. The corner first didn't look so dangerous but when Arnoldo Mano got the ball he succeeded in some way to get through the defenders to deliver a very hard score. Result 2-0. 100 minutes into the match. Los Monos's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
