After having played for 25 minutes, Damaso Benet managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Astor Cesaro who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 38thth minute tested the skills of Domingos Claris when he managed to save the team from getting behind. If Luisito Eneko had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Ariel Clemencin took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 76th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Domingos Claris. Espinillo FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. In the 77th minute the ball was on its way in behind Espinillo FC's goalkeeper Domingos Claris, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Domingos Claris took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Astor Cesaro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Albano Javiero in the 95th minute of play forced Aldao's goalkeeper Lucio Galindo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Espinillo FC's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
