In the 20th minute, Caldao's Francisco Guzman seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Francisco Guzman the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Caldao protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Francisco Guzman had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Javier Perfecto made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fernan Sanson in the 25th minute of play. Clodoveo Mel's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Javier Perfecto read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 30th minute of play.

Javier Perfecto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 37 minutes into the match, Caldao's goal looked a bit too open when Clodoveo Mel came free, but Javier Perfecto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Amador Gerazan made a kick off. 53 minutes had been played when some careless play by Mangrullo AFC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Nemesio Ubelteso was slow to take the kick. During this time Caldao's players had a chance to rest. Victorino Llorian fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leopoldo Napier having to interfere. Leopoldo Napier took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Amador Gerazan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 64 minutes, Raimundo Tuste mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Mangrullo AFC and the Caldao players grew even worse after the yellow card. Raimundo Tuste hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. Amador Gerazan took the ball and in the 67 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Leopoldo Napier. Leopoldo Napier dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. In the 71st minute of the match, Fernan Sanson tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Javier Perfecto saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. After a defensive mix-up in Caldao's zone, Fernan Sanson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Javier Perfecto came out of the goal and Fernan Sanson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 77th minute, Fernan Sanson fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. If Fernan Sanson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After recieving a nice pass, Mangrullo AFC's Elvio Calixto tried to score from far away in the 86th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Leopoldo Napier showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Amador Gerazan in the 91st minute of the match.
