After having played for 27 minutes, Ernesto Dalmai managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Todo Red's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ernesto Dalmai was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

The Raptores de Los Hornos FC fans' excitement grew in the 31st match minute when Raptores de Los Hornos FC's Oscar Couto looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. 42 minutes into the match, Todo Red's goal looked a bit too open when Oscar Couto came free, but Camilo Gaueko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When Eraldo Bomba came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the Raptores de Los Hornos 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 Eraldo Bomba couldn't finish the play. Emanuel Orlin charged in rather forcefully in the 68th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Emanuel Orlin the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
