Erasmo Loi was left in no man's land by his defense there! After some fancy dribbling in the 25th minute, Lautaro Mancebo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Lautaro Mancebo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Erasmo Loi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Joel Gaona to make the kick off. 53 minutes into the match, Apocalípticos & Caóticos's goal looked a bit too open when Joel Gaona came free, but Erasmo Loi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Facundo Cadaval sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Apocalípticos & Caóticos's Eymen Kakisim got a free kick in the 69th minute. 71 minutes into the match, Edelmiro Taurino had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Dante Lacasa. Mexico's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Edelmiro Taurino was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. Apocalípticos & Caóticos's Erasmo Loi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alberto Tafalla in the 77th minute of play.

Edelmiro Taurino scored 1-4 in the 86th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dante Lacasa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
