A collision led to Harriston FC getting a freekick after 8 minutes play. Jaime Laforest hit a great ball. In the 9th minute the ball was on its way in behind Harriston FC's goalkeeper Anatole Hardy, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Harriston FC's Anatole Hardy played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rémi Gousse in the 20th minute of play. Anatole Hardy showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Léon Beauchamp, who was totally free with the ball in the 24th minute.

Léon Beauchamp blasted a shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Anatole Hardy having to make a save. After 39 minutes Harriston FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Arturo Sands who took care of the corner kick.

Rémi Gousse struck a weak shot in the 57th minute. Anatole Hardy didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cordoba City. 62 minutes into the game, one of Harriston FC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. 65 minutes into the match, Harriston FC's goal looked a bit too open when Léon Beauchamp came free, but Anatole Hardy reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After a rather tough play, Harriston FC's Hubert Chaloux got a free kick in the 82nd minute.

In the 96th minute, Ernesto Judd hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy.
