Yambay Vital sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Mateus Mirafuentes was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Yambay Vital took the ball and in the 47 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Andres Binas. Andres Binas dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Bando FC's Andres Binas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yambay Vital in the 99th minute of play. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Chiriacu players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
