Jurand Popowicz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rogelio Gaur having to interfere. 9 minutes into the match, Florentino Henric dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Marian Danisiewicz, 1-0. CF Apaches's Marian Danisiewicz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eriberto Benet in the 14th minute of play. Lucas Farias hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. Genaro Nataniel hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. Rogelio Gaur took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Miroslaw Cielencki, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 25th minute, Eriberto Benet ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Marian Danisiewicz was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. Jurand Popowicz blasted a shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Rogelio Gaur having to make a save. After a rather tough play, Tigre's Eriberto Benet got a free kick in the 31st minute. CF Apaches's Miroslaw Cielencki got a good chance for a goal in the 34th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Teofilo Virila to make the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 54th minute, Jurand Popowicz managed to get in a good position for a shot. CF Apaches's supporters rose to their feet, but Jurand Popowicz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rogelio Gaur breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When the match clock showed 56 minutes, the score became 2-1 when Julian Radzyminski sped through Tigre's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Rogelio Gaur. After having played for 60 minutes, Genaro Nataniel managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tigre's supporters crossed their fingers, but Genaro Nataniel was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Miroslaw Cielencki who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 63rdth minute tested the skills of Rogelio Gaur when he managed to save the team from getting behind. In the 65th minute, Konstanty Slazak hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rogelio Gaur showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jurand Popowicz in the 68th minute of the match. Rogelio Gaur came out of the goal in the 70th minute to try and stop a shot by CF Apaches's Miroslaw Cielencki. But to his dismay, Miroslaw Cielencki quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. After a rather tough play, Tigre's Raimundo Bittor got a free kick in the 78th minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Miroslaw Cielencki kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rogelio Gaur. That made the score 2-3 in the 79 minute of play. In the 82nd minute Genaro Nataniel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marian Danisiewicz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, Tigre's Rogelio Gaur got control of the ball when Julian Radzyminski tried to sneak it across the goal line. The goalkeeper, Rogelio Gaur, was totally fooled by CF Apaches's Edgar Dejo, who 88 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. The CF Apaches players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
