Real Armal F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Luisito Raebert was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. Xano Odín fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Baldomiro Acevedo having to interfere. After some careless play in the Sacando del Medio defense, Raúl Gasso kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Baldomiro Acevedo.
