Robin Pettersson struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. Mendez Gamones didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for The Wild Bunch. After a rather tough play, The Wild Bunch's Per-Olof Haström got a free kick in the 21st minute. Knut Odin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jácome Covarrubias in the 22nd minute of the match. Erwin Avellano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Börje Jakobsson in the 36th minute of play forced YerBaTerOs's goalkeeper Mendez Gamones to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mendez Gamones took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kaj Lööf, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 41 minutes had been played when some careless play by YerBaTerOs's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Per-Olof Haström was slow to take the kick. During this time The Wild Bunch's players had a chance to rest. Per-Olof Haström made a great header on The Wild Bunch's corner, it was just that YerBaTerOs's Mendez Gamones managed to reach the ball for a save.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Erwin Avellano was the one to do the kick off. Robin Pettersson came free with the goalkeeper in the 54th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Mendez Gamones could save by the left post. 57 minutes into the match, YerBaTerOs's goalkeeper Mendez Gamones had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Robin Pettersson. Knut Odin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erwin Avellano, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to YerBaTerOs getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Intriago Saldivar hit a great ball. In the 63rd minute the ball was on its way in behind YerBaTerOs's goalkeeper Mendez Gamones, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Kaj Lööf came up free with the goalie in the 67th minute, the The Wild Bunch fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Kaj Lööf couldn't finish the play. YerBaTerOs's Mendez Gamones proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save YerBaTerOs from getting a goal against them. In the 73rd match minute, The Wild Bunch was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Börje Jakobsson to maneuver through the defense. Knut Odin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Erwin Avellano in the 84th minute of the match. 87 minutes into the match, The Wild Bunch's goal looked a bit too open when Erwin Avellano came free, but Knut Odin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Salas Justo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Erwin Avellano took the ball and in the 96 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Knut Odin. Knut Odin dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. For all the effort they put into the match, the The Wild Bunch players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for YerBaTerOs.
