Romeu Barbosa took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 55th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Jacobo Nores. Paraguay's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Lakers FC's Percival Magalhães suffered a fractured collar bone after 61 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Alan Campos charged in rather forcefully in the 61st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

Paulão Corrêa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jaime Pardo in the 75th minute of play. Sidnei Branco struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Jacobo Nores didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lakers FC. The supporters of Paraguay booed when Lakers FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Clóvis Velloso didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 80th minute, Jaime Pardo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Paraguay's supporters rose to their feet, but Jaime Pardo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Paulão Corrêa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 82 minutes into the match, Lakers FC's goal looked a bit too open when Jaime Pardo came free, but Paulão Corrêa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Jaime Pardo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Paulão Corrêa was relentless in the 84th minute of the game. After 91 minutes, Romeu Barbosa mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Lakers FC and the Paraguay players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 91st match minute, Lakers FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Romeu Barbosa to maneuver through the defense. In the 93rdth minute of the game Jaime Pardo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Lakers FC's Paulão Corrêa was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Paraguay fully deserved thier win.
