But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Pablo Hermelando couldn't finish the play.

After 25 minutes of play, Tumbaya's Remigio Eliu made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Domingos Estevez was left in no man's land by his defense there! Andres Jeraldo scored 2-1 in the 30th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Teofilo Esiquio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 33 minutes into the match, Andres Jeraldo dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Teofilo Esiquio, 3-1.

Tumbaya's Cleto Maurin was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Domingos Estevez in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-1 at half-time.

When Teofilo Nataniel fell near the penalty area in the 54th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tumbaya's protests and gave Teofilo Nataniel a yellow card for diving instead. When the match had gone on for 61 minutes, Remigio Eliu took a quick shot and it went in 3-3 without a chance for Domingos Estevez to make any attempt to save it.

After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Andres Jeraldo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pedernera AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Andres Jeraldo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Teofilo Esiquio breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a defensive mix-up in Tumbaya's zone, Andres Jeraldo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Teofilo Esiquio came out of the goal and Andres Jeraldo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
