Maximiliano Bittor hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. 9 minutes into the match, Amador Rafel notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Perico City Grup's Gonzalo Darien. Gonzalo Darien was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience was convinced that Conrado Maiorga's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gonzalo Darien was relentless in the 12th minute of the game. When the match had gone on for 14 minutes, Conrado Maiorga put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Gonzalo Darien. Amador Rafel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Gonzalo Darien tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Roque Urtun hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. After 28 played minutes, Deportivo Diamante U18's Lino Igon shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Gonzalo Darien came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Deportivo Diamante U18 reached it. In the 29th minute Leonides Dalmau shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gonzalo Darien saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
