Guido Batista received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Candido Sal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

After a rather tough play, AC Mesada's Jeremias Quiroga got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Amado Maju sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Severo Cuarto took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 70th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Celso Beliran. AC Mesada's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.
