But to his dismay, Augusto Udalaitz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. 11 minutes into the match, Loco De Remate's goal looked a bit too open when Lucas Langoni came free, but Samuel Mancio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Roque James struck a weak shot in the 16th minute. Samuel Mancio didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ..Villa Rugby Club...

In the 25th minute Jesus Librado shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rene Higuita saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 27 minutes into the game, ..Villa Rugby Club..'s Augusto Udalaitz nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Samuel Mancio made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. Manuel Iban recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 33 minutes into the match, ..Villa Rugby Club..'s goal looked a bit too open when Gerardo Bibiano came free, but Rene Higuita reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 34th minute, Gavino Tabor hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Loco De Remate's Samuel Mancio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Manuel Iban in the 38th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jesus Librado in the 41st minute of play forced ..Villa Rugby Club..'s goalkeeper Rene Higuita to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Jesus Librado made a kick off. 57 minutes into the match, ..Villa Rugby Club..'s goal looked a bit too open when Gerardo Bibiano came free, but Rene Higuita reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of ..Villa Rugby Club.. booed when Loco De Remate was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 61 match minutes in a wonderful position. Feliciano Tome didn't get a good kick on the ball. ..Villa Rugby Club.. made a substitution. Arnoldo Asier replaced Roque James. A collision led to Loco De Remate getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Feliciano Tome hit a great ball. Arnoldo Asier did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-5 to the left of a surprised Samuel Mancio 64 minutes into the match.

Arnoldo Asier scored 1-8 in the 78th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Samuel Mancio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Alvaro Resto took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 86th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Rene Higuita. ..Villa Rugby Club..'s goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.

Rafael Leoncio scored 1-9 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Samuel Mancio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. ..Villa Rugby Club.. played a much better game than Loco De Remate and deserved their victory. The Loco De Remate players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
