When Jairo Burgo came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the Altamirano 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 Jairo Burgo couldn't finish the play. 7 minutes into the game, Leo Lamarta was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. LIGA RECAMPEON's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Altamirano FC the free kick. Leo Lamarta hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kléber Rivas in the 9th minute of play forced LIGA RECAMPEON's goalkeeper Norberto Reza to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

A very good chance. 26 minutes into the match, Altamirano FC's goal looked a bit too open when Francisco Chumacero came free, but España Hesles reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Francisco Chumacero's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but España Hesles was relentless in the 31st minute of the game. Francisco Chumacero might have been able to make a better finish in the 37th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over España Hesles. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Francisco Chumacero ran back to his position shaking his head. Altamirano FC's España Hesles proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 45th minute of the match, managed to save Altamirano FC from getting a goal against them. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Jairo Burgo received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Norberto Reza came out and tried to block the shot, but Jairo Burgo slotted it home off the left post making it 0-2 in the 53rd minute. A hard shot 57 in the game by Kléber Rivas from a close distance when the talented Norberto Reza managed to make a qualified save. LIGA RECAMPEON's players were relieved. España Hesles made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Francisco Chumacero in the 60th minute of play. After 63 minutes, Gutierrez Quintana mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Altamirano FC and the LIGA RECAMPEON players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Altamirano FC getting a freekick after 63 minutes play.

When LIGA RECAMPEON's Francisco Chumacero, in the 65th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside.

España Hesles came out of the goal in the 69th minute to try and stop a shot by LIGA RECAMPEON's Francisco Chumacero. But to his dismay, Francisco Chumacero quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. España Hesles took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Krikorian Zamarripa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the LIGA RECAMPEON defense, Kléber Rivas kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Norberto Reza.
