In the 6th minute, Tiburcio Patxi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With his leg Gerardo Beila managed to avoid a goal in the 8thth minute, when Cartero de Agronomia F.C.'s Anselmo Errando fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 9 played minutes AFC FUSION got a freekick which was hit by Zacarias Silbestre. After 16 minutes, Clemente Fresco mouthed his way into the referee's book.

In the 16th match minute, AFC FUSION was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Clemente Fresco to maneuver through the defense. With a little luck, AFC FUSION's Gerardo Beila got control of the ball when Anselmo Errando tried to sneak it across the goal line.

Cartero de Agronomia F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Nunez Arias was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 27th minute, Gonzalo Garaona got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 29th minute Anselmo Errando shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gerardo Beila saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cartero de Agronomia F.C.'s Julian Kadi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nunez Arias in the 31st minute of play. In the 36th minute, Marcelo Laurentzi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Gerardo Beila was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. 42 minutes into the match, AFC FUSION's goal looked a bit too open when Anselmo Errando came free, but Gerardo Beila reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cartero de Agronomia F.C.'s Marcelo Laurentzi managed to work through AFC FUSION's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Marcelo Laurentzi dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Anselmo Errando made a kick off. Gerardo Beila showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anselmo Errando, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute.

Gerardo Beila showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Anselmo Errando in the 70th minute of the match.

The Cartero de Agronomia F.C. fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. In the 76th minute Remigio Palos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gerardo Beila saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gerardo Beila made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Anselmo Errando in the 79th minute of play. After 94 minutes of play, Cartero de Agronomia F.C.'s Fabricio Sesuldo made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Gerardo Beila was left in no man's land by his defense there! It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Cartero de Agronomia F.C. had played much better football throughout.
