Ricardo Zorita showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Benigno Sidro, who was totally free with the ball in the 7th minute. After having played for 12 minutes, Abram Luque managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. El Salvador's supporters crossed their fingers, but Abram Luque was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Benigno Sidro recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Victorio Locaio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 21 minutes into the match, El Salvador's goalkeeper Ricardo Zorita had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Victorio Locaio. Wilfredo Peru took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 26th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Ricardo Zorita. El Salvador's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Moises Fernandino sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Romulo Ugutz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Moises Fernandino, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 36 minutes into the match, Deportivo Jeremías SL's Isidoro Boni sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ricardo Zorita narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Victorio Locaio could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 39th minute of the match, but Ricardo Zorita made a huge save. After 44 played minutes El Salvador got a freekick which was hit by Moises Fernandino. The audience thought a goal was coming when Victorio Locaio got free with Ricardo Zorita in the 47th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Moises Fernandino to make the kick off. In the 63rd minute Benigno Sidro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardo Zorita saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ricardo Zorita made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Isidoro Boni in the 67th minute of play.

After 77 played minutes, Deportivo Jeremías SL's Wilfredo Peru shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ricardo Zorita came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Deportivo Jeremías SL reached it. In the 91stth minute of the game Benigno Sidro who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but El Salvador's Ricardo Zorita was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Moises Fernandino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Marco Tamayo's late challenge caught a Deportivo Jeremías SL's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Marco Tamayo helped the player get up and apologised. Marco Tamayo hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. El Salvador's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
