Rigoberto Leoncio took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Daniel Zorita, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 10 minutes into the match, LOS CAVERNÍCOLAS S.F.'s goal looked a bit too open when Agustín Saelices came free, but Rigoberto Leoncio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
