Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Arsenio Maldonado to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute Ladislao Jaunzuria shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elpidio Primo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 69th match minute, Jarana FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Angelo Di María to maneuver through the defense.

Nicanor Fero sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
