Cordoba FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Francisco Sotil in the 5th minute.

In the 17th minute, Tammo Zippel left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Cordoba FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. 21 minutes into the game, Ladislao Unax was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

If Eustaquio Bihar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ildefonso Evis made a kick off. The supporters of Cordoba FC booed when Obanta was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hermengildo Ofelio didn't get a good kick on the ball. Afiq Phua sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lisandro Presebal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ildefonso Evis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Lisandro Presebal made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Afiq Phua in the 73rd minute of play.

Eustaquio Bihar could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 79th minute of the match, but Fernan Gomez made a huge save. Lisandro Presebal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tammo Zippel, who was totally free with the ball in the 85th minute. After 85th play minutes Tammo Zippel shot 4-0, a short shot which went by Lisandro Presebal and just under the crossbar into goal. With his leg Fernan Gomez managed to avoid a goal in the 90thth minute, when Obanta's Eustaquio Bihar fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Cordoba FC's Severo Pedroso got a good chance for a goal in the 92nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Cordoba FC had played much better football throughout.
