In the 2nd minute, Raimundo Eladio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Osvaldo Rey received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Andres Illart tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Internacional De Munro's Rafael Mancio got a free kick in the 5th minute. If Rafael Mancio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 10 minutes of play, Internacional De Munro's Osvaldo Rey made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Andres Illart was left in no man's land by his defense there! Leonardo Quinto charged in rather forcefully in the 13th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Leonardo Quinto the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 13 played minutes Internacional De Munro got a freekick which was hit by Leonardo Quinto. Artemio Txema stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Angelino Quintin's shot from short distance in the 14th minute. Andres Illart made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rafael Mancio in the 17th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Osvaldo Rey's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Andres Illart was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. Artemio Txema took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Angelino Quintin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 27 minutes of play, Internacional De Munro's Rafael Mancio made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Andres Illart was left in no man's land by his defense there! With a little luck, Internacional De Munro's Artemio Txema got control of the ball when Roman Belo tried to sneak it across the goal line.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Angelino Quintin made a kick off. In the 57th minute Roman Belo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Artemio Txema saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Osvaldo Rey fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Andres Illart having to interfere. Rafael Mancio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Artemio Txema didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Roman Belo went, in the 75th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. Roman Belo struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Artemio Txema didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Riachuelo. 84 minutes into the match, Internacional De Munro's goal looked a bit too open when Roman Belo came free, but Artemio Txema reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Riachuelo's Andres Illart played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rafael Mancio in the 92nd minute of play. After some careless play in the Internacional De Munro defense, Angelino Quintin kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Artemio Txema. The Internacional De Munro fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Artemio Txema should have stopped the shot. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
