Amadeo Chico recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 13 minutes, Ceferino Goi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Deportivo Rock Sud's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ceferino Goi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Joel Maidana sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jonas Ishmael received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Felipe Pancho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Amadeo Chico sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Felipe Pancho stood somewhat misplaced when Ceferino Goi came free in front of goal and shot 1-0 to the left of him in the 43 minute. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Jonas Ishmael stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After 54 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Tunal! Isaias Montrell made an important save on a dangerous shot by Amadeo Chico in the 61st minute. Tunal's Felipe Pancho played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jonas Ishmael in the 62nd minute of play. 65 minutes into the match, Tunal's goal looked a bit too open when Ceferino Goi came free, but Felipe Pancho reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 70th minute, Joel Maidana reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Isaias Montrell. The goal made the score 2-1. When Anastasio Nahia fell near the penalty area in the 76th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Deportivo Rock Sud's protests and gave Anastasio Nahia a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Deportivo Rock Sud's Anastasio Nahia got a free kick in the 77th minute. If Ceferino Goi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute.

Ceferino Goi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Felipe Pancho having to interfere.

The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel.
