Villa La Perla's Teo Erauso proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 4th minute of the match, managed to save Villa La Perla from getting a goal against them. Los Materos FC's Froilan Urtsin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Silvio Umbruso in the 7th minute of play.

Froilan Urtsin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristian Farias, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Froilan Urtsin was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Teo Erauso showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gustavo Argenis, who was totally free with the ball in the 41st minute. The audience was convinced that Silvio Umbruso's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Froilan Urtsin was relentless in the 44th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cristian Farias in the 45th minute of play forced Los Materos FC's goalkeeper Froilan Urtsin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Cristian Farias ran back to his position shaking his head. 70 minutes into the game, Joaquin Juvenal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Teo Erauso showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 75 minutes into the match, Villa La Perla's goal looked a bit too open when Basilio Fernandez came free, but Teo Erauso reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
