After 5 minutes, Eliseo Machado mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Orsett and the Rothley City players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 5 played minutes Orsett got a freekick which was hit by Eliseo Machado. Milton Leguizamon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Selvin Barraza in the 8th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Rothley City's zone, Daniel Sigaran stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leopoldo Corrales came out of the goal and Daniel Sigaran tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Selvin Barraza kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. In the 23rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Orsett's goalkeeper Milton Leguizamon, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 25th match minute, Rothley City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Waldir Quintanilla to maneuver through the defense. Milton Leguizamon stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ricardo Zapata's shot from short distance in the 28th minute. A collision led to Rothley City getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Daniel Braun hit a great ball. Rony Alvarez, 31 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After a rather tough play, Rothley City's Daniel Braun got a free kick in the 32nd minute. Orsett's Daniel Sigaran got a good chance for a goal in the 34th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Ricardo Zapata managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rothley City's supporters rose to their feet, but Ricardo Zapata was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Milton Leguizamon breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. With a little luck, Rothley City's Leopoldo Corrales got control of the ball when Daniel Alvarenga tried to sneak it across the goal line. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The wind increased when Daniel Sigaran made the kick off in the second half. After some careless play in the Orsett defense, Selvin Barraza kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Milton Leguizamon. The Orsett fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Milton Leguizamon should have stopped the shot. Daniel Alvarenga fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leopoldo Corrales having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Rothley City's Daniel Braun got a free kick in the 61st minute. In the 73rd minute Daniel Alvarenga shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leopoldo Corrales saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Daniel Alvarenga in the 75th minute of play forced Rothley City's goalkeeper Leopoldo Corrales to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 80 minutes, Selvin Barraza managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rothley City's supporters crossed their fingers, but Selvin Barraza was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Selvin Barraza got free with Milton Leguizamon in the 88th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 90th minute, Ricardo Zapata got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.
