The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Israel Cordario helped the player get up and apologised. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 6th minute of the game. One of Berutti FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of WINNING ELEVEN:s goal. The goalkeeper, Eustacio Piearres, was totally fooled by WINNING ELEVEN's Adan Francho, who 7 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Serafino Polo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Clodoveo Mannie in the 15th minute of play. 31 minutes into the match, Berutti FC's Domingo Vachon sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Serafino Polo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Santos Garikoitz kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. In the 37th minute of the match Christian Reno sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Serafino Polo skillfully saved the ball.

Pedro Erramu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eustacio Piearres having to interfere. Gervasio Raitin hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match.
