The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Severiano Nabar made an important save on a dangerous shot by Oscar Quexal in the 3rd minute. Leonel Hermelando might have been able to make a better finish in the 7th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Severiano Nabar. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Leonel Hermelando ran back to his position shaking his head. After 14 played minutes Tarragona FC got a freekick which was hit by Osvaldo Sustrai. Severiano Nabar made a fantastic save in the 36th minute, when Leonel Hermelando sent off a good shot on target. After having played for 38 minutes, Anselmo Pio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. MCR FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anselmo Pio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Aaron Torres showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Felix Eduino in the 40th minute of the match. Everardo Rosio struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Severiano Nabar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tarragona FC.

The referee felt a red card was in order, 70 minutes into the game, when Tobias Ofelio put in a rough tackle. In a very dangerous position, a player in Tarragona FC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 69th minute. Penalty!

Severiano Nabar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Leonel Hermelando, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

In the 98th minute, Anselmo Pio got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.
