Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jaime Corderall kicked off to start the match. 4 minutes into the match, Xoloitzcuintle's goal looked a bit too open when Primitivo Benino came free, but Cayetano Ariando reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When Jaime Corderall came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Xoloitzcuintle 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 Jaime Corderall couldn't finish the play.

After 34 minutes of play, Xoloitzcuintle's Uriel Gabirel made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

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.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Primitivo Benino was the one to do the kick off. Primitivo Benino recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 54th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Cayetano Ariando breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Nunez Cesaro fell near the penalty area in the 82nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Xoloitzcuintle's protests and gave Nunez Cesaro a yellow card for diving instead. With a little luck, Xoloitzcuintle's Cayetano Ariando got control of the ball when Felix Huly tried to sneak it across the goal line. When the match had gone on for 91 minutes, Primitivo Benino took a quick shot and it went in 1-4 without a chance for Cayetano Ariando to make any attempt to save it. Nunez Cesaro struck a weak shot in the 99th minute. Alejandro Pero didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Xoloitzcuintle.
