The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Edmundo Espiga stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 51 minutes into the game, Melchor Guillelmo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Sebastian Villa blasted a shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Zacarias Arotza having to make a save. After a defensive mix-up in Arroyo Dulce's zone, Edmundo Espiga stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Honduras may have spent more time on the ball, but Arroyo Dulce were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
