Victoriano Banegas scored 0-1 in the 19th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Stevie Ely, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a rather tough play, Simbo FC's Anier Guipuzkoa got a free kick in the 23rd minute. Wesley Straker sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Stevie Ely showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Victoriano Banegas, who was totally free with the ball in the 41st minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The coaching staff of Simbo FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Melchor Eztebe had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 56th minute of the game. One of Simbo FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Junkyard Dogs:s goal. Victoriano Banegas in the 63rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal.

A collision led to Simbo FC getting a freekick after 83 minutes play. Tiburcio Enetz hit a great ball. With a little luck, Junkyard Dogs's Stevie Ely got control of the ball when Mauricio Jurdan tried to sneak it across the goal line. Simbo FC played a much better game than Junkyard Dogs and deserved their victory. The Junkyard Dogs players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
