After some fancy dribbling in the 43rd minute, Ricardo Vinosis managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kesgrave FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Ricardo Vinosis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Cesar Pineda breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Andrés Guzman received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute.

Arturo Llorente ran back to his position shaking his head. When Wilmer Ocampo came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the Immingham fans jumped to their feet.
