Conrado Cresitobalo was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 10 minutes into the match, Langoni FC's goal looked a bit too open when Edgard Polentzi came free, but Conrado Cresitobalo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After a rather tough play, Langoni FC's Ivan Tabby got a free kick in the 15th minute.

Conrado Cresitobalo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jorge Oliveiro in the 33rd minute of play forced Langoni FC's goalkeeper Conrado Cresitobalo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Conrado Cresitobalo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Edgard Polentzi, who was totally free with the ball in the 35th minute.

In the 93rd minute Baldomiro Hulberto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aquilino Lluques saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Langoni FC getting a freekick after 96 minutes play. Pablo Domingues hit a great ball.
