Pinto Amor's late challenge caught a Cushitagua FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Pinto Amor helped the player get up and apologised. After 17 played minutes Tio SC got a freekick which was hit by Pinto Amor. Cruz Oberto hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. Camacho Nogal acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 20th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Arboleda Armendarez.

In the 39th minute of the match Zeru Parandones shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Alfonso Domao showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After some careless play in the Tio SC defense, Freddy Aponte kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Camacho Nogal. The Tio SC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Camacho Nogal should have stopped the shot. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.
