Maldonado AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Miliano Michel was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

A beautiful save bye Ladrillos AFC's goalie prevented a goal. Cristian Magadan's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Dacio Dopacio firmly grabbed it by the left post. If Fagildo Palencia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Fagildo Palencia managed to get in a good position for a shot.
