After a defensive mix-up in SLA FC's zone, Siro Nel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Marcelo Sendoa came out of the goal and Siro Nel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Enzo Perico made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gilberto Elorri in the 5th minute of play. After 11 played minutes Naranjero got a freekick which was hit by Albano Formerio. Enzo Perico showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gilberto Elorri in the 13th minute of the match. 0-2 became the score in the 25th minute when Ermegildo Sugar elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Joaquin Koldobika fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcelo Sendoa having to interfere. 31 minutes into the match, Ermegildo Sugar had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Enzo Perico. Naranjero's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ermegildo Sugar was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Naranjero's Joaquin Koldobika quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Ermegildo Isidor, made in the 34th minute of the game. Enzo Perico showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gilberto Elorri, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. 40 minutes into the match, Gilberto Elorri notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of Naranjero's Enzo Perico. Enzo Perico was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Enzo Perico took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lucio Servando, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Siro Nel to make the kick off. Enzo Perico made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ermegildo Sugar in the 54th minute of play. Enzo Perico was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 60th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Valentin Berto. In the 67th minute, Ermegildo Sugar fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. In the 70th minute Ermegildo Sugar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Enzo Perico saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ermegildo Sugar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Enzo Perico having to interfere. Siro Nel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcelo Sendoa having to interfere. Ermegildo Sugar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Enzo Perico having to interfere. Enzo Perico showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ermegildo Sugar in the 82nd minute of the match. Enzo Perico made a fantastic save in the 83rd minute, when Gilberto Elorri sent off a good shot on target. SLA FC's Marcelo Sendoa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Siro Nel in the 87th minute of play. Ermegildo Sugar was extremely unlucky when he, in the 90th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. If Gilberto Elorri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Naranjero's Enzo Perico got control of the ball when Lucio Servando tried to sneak it across the goal line. When the match was over SLA FC could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Naranjero throughout the match.
