Teodoro Valle's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Gomez Esperanza firmly grabbed it by the left post.

After some careless play in the Xurupita FC defense, Máté Kiss kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Arlindo Meireles. The Xurupita FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Arlindo Meireles should have stopped the shot. Damian Comarnescu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arlindo Meireles having to interfere. In the 38th minute the ball was on its way in behind Xurupita FC's goalkeeper Arlindo Meireles, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 47 minutes, László Csank mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Balassagyarmat SC and the Xurupita FC players grew even worse after the yellow card.

László Csank could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 73rd minute of the match, but Arlindo Meireles made a huge save.

The Balassagyarmat SC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-3. After a defensive mix-up in Xurupita FC's zone, Máté Kiss stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Arlindo Meireles came out of the goal and Máté Kiss tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 83rd minute, Balassagyarmat SC's Máté Kiss ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Arlindo Meireles. Arlindo Meireles yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-4.
