After a defensive mix-up in Isaac FC.'s zone, Teofilo Steven stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cristobal Lucila came out of the goal and Teofilo Steven tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Omar Maria could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 17th minute of the match, but Cristobal Lucila made a huge save.

The referee ignored Isaac FC.'s protests and gave Honorio Chucho a yellow card for diving instead. Teofilo Steven received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Cristobal Lucila tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 26th minute the ball was on its way in behind Isaac FC.'s goalkeeper Cristobal Lucila, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Hipolito Elizardo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fabricio Salvatore having to interfere. Clodoveo Salamon charged in rather forcefully in the 43rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Clodoveo Salamon the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 44 played minutes Cienaguita got a freekick which was hit by Clodoveo Salamon.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Teofilo Steven was the one to do the kick off. In the 51st minute Omar Maria shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristobal Lucila saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 67th minute, Hipolito Elizardo made a precise shot to the right of Fabricio Salvatore. Cienaguita's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-1. Teofilo Steven sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Omar Maria came up free with the goalie in the 75th minute, the Cienaguita fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Omar Maria couldn't finish the play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Erasmo Guzman during the 83rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Isaac FC.'s Erasmo Guzman got a free kick in the 83rd minute. Bernardo Edorta's late challenge caught a Cienaguita's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Bernardo Edorta helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Cienaguita booed when Isaac FC. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 86 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bernardo Edorta didn't get a good kick on the ball. 89 minutes into the match, Isaac FC.'s goal looked a bit too open when Omar Maria came free, but Cristobal Lucila reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cesar Donzel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 90th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Cienaguita's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
