Higinio Berenguer scored 0-1 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rafael Gombal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The supporters of Habsburgo booed when Los Patanes was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Domingos Garci didn't get a good kick on the ball. Basilio Ruisko could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 19th minute of the match, but Carolo Erruki made a huge save. Los Patanes's defense didn't have a chance, in the 20th minute, when Vinicio Havier scored to the left of an out of position Carolo Erruki, making the score, 1-1. Carolo Erruki was a little too slow when Justo Thomas got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 29th minute. The score was now 2-1. Justo Thomas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Justo Thomas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Carolo Erruki showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mario Bartuelo in the 65th minute of the match. After 70 minutes of play, Habsburgo's Justo Thomas made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Carolo Erruki was left in no man's land by his defense there! 73 minutes into the match, Los Patanes's goal looked a bit too open when Justo Thomas came free, but Carolo Erruki reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Carolo Erruki showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Leo Romo, who was totally free with the ball in the 80th minute. Domingos Garci received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Rafael Gombal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 86 minutes into the game, Justo Thomas cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 4-1. Carolo Erruki was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Justo Thomas came up free with the goalie in the 95th minute, the Habsburgo fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Justo Thomas couldn't finish the play. Habsburgo's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
