Anastasio Fagildo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 19 minutes into the match, Serodino's Anastasio Fagildo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Godfredo Colon narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The supporters of Tartagal FC booed when Serodino was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 20 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aldo Artaldo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Feliciano Rico, 21 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. If Aldo Rico had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Cipriano Laurendi fell near the penalty area in the 36th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tartagal FC's protests and gave Cipriano Laurendi a yellow card for diving instead.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Anastasio Fagildo in the 37th minute of play forced Tartagal FC's goalkeeper Godfredo Colon to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Anastasio Fagildo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Tartagal FC's zone, Elpidio Alonso stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Godfredo Colon came out of the goal and Elpidio Alonso tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Gabriel Fernado's late challenge caught a Serodino's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gabriel Fernado helped the player get up and apologised. If Elpidio Alonso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fabricio Ibañez blasted a shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Rodrigo Liberto having to make a save. After having played for 65 minutes, Elpidio Alonso managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Serodino's supporters crossed their fingers, but Elpidio Alonso was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Serafino Lamberto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 73 minutes into the match, Serodino's goal looked a bit too open when Serafino Lamberto came free, but Rodrigo Liberto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 73 played minutes Serodino got a freekick which was hit by Aldo Artaldo. Serafino Lamberto might have been able to make a better finish in the 75th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rodrigo Liberto. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Serafino Lamberto ran back to his position shaking his head. Anastasio Fagildo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Godfredo Colon having to interfere.

When Aldo Rico came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Tartagal FC 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 Aldo Rico couldn't finish the play. Aldo Artaldo kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. 92 minutes had been played when some careless play by Serodino's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Feliciano Rico was slow to take the kick. During this time Tartagal FC's players had a chance to rest. A well done corner resulted in Aldo Rico drilling the ball in to score 3-1 behind Serodino's goalkeeper.
