Ramon Uzuri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arnulfo Bizen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that German Handi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Anibal Pelayo was relentless in the 61st minute of the game. Eriberto Maraman could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 62nd minute of the match, but Anibal Pelayo made a huge save.

In the 66th minute, Arnulfo Bizen got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. With a little luck, Elortondo's Anibal Pelayo got control of the ball when Eriberto Maraman tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Eriberto Maraman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Eriberto Maraman came up free with the goalie in the 72nd minute, the Segurola 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 Eriberto Maraman couldn't finish the play. 76 minutes into the match, Segurola's goal looked a bit too open when Enrique Ellande came free, but Ramon Uzuri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Severiano Romano charged in rather forcefully in the 78th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Severiano Romano the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 78 played minutes Elortondo got a freekick which was hit by Severiano Romano. Maximiliano Madeo hit a great freekick 87 minutes into the match. Arnulfo Bizen recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 91st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 93 minutes, Guido Rozarius mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Elortondo and the Segurola players grew even worse after the yellow card. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
