After some careless play in the Hilario defense, Delmiro Tomi kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Modesto Matai. The Hilario fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Modesto Matai should have stopped the shot. When Angel Bide fell near the penalty area in the 61st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hilario's protests and gave Angel Bide a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of MA HALCON ATLETICO booed when Hilario was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. Angel Bide didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 63 played minutes, MA HALCON ATLETICO's Baldomiro Remir shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Modesto Matai 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 MA HALCON ATLETICO reached it. After a rather tough play, MA HALCON ATLETICO's Igor Vidal got a free kick in the 66th minute. Nereo Rivas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
