In the 30th minute the ball was on its way in behind Rosa AFC's goalkeeper Saturnino Maurino, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Enzo Seber had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a defensive mix-up in Rosa AFC's zone, Prospero Rocio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Saturnino Maurino came out of the goal and Prospero Rocio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Rosa AFC's Dario Xabel managed to work through La Banda FC's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Dario Xabel dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. The La Banda FC players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Rosa AFC were winning 0-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Prospero Rocio was the one to do the kick off.
