The referee showed Mario Gimenez the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Havana 3am made a substitution. Enzo Lizbeth replaced Alberto Ellande. Mario Gimenez hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. Cornelio Petrigai made an important save on a dangerous shot by Roko Ranogajec in the 11th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Isaias Gaizko in the 14th minute of play forced Havana 3am's goalkeeper Domingos Fix to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Irvin León's zone, Alejandro Seme stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cornelio Petrigai came out of the goal and Alejandro Seme tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Alejandro Seme received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Cornelio Petrigai tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 25 minutes into the match, Roko Ranogajec had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cornelio Petrigai. Irvin León's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Roko Ranogajec was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Domingos Fix took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arturo Florian, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Roko Ranogajec blasted a shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Cornelio Petrigai having to make a save. Isaias Gaizko charged in rather forcefully in the 46th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Isaias Gaizko the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 48 played minutes Irvin León got a freekick which was hit by Domingo Ekhi. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-1 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Arturo Florian to strike the kick off in the second half. 59 minutes into the game, Aquilino Erdiano was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Irvin León's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Havana 3am the free kick. Pascual Ofelio, 60 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Mario Gimenez hit a great freekick 62 minutes into the match. In the 69th minute, Julio Bastiaro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The crowd rose to their feet as Arturo Florian kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Domingos Fix. That made the score 3-2 in the 75 minute of play. Roko Ranogajec's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Cornelio Petrigai read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 80th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Roko Ranogajec in the 82nd minute of play forced Irvin León's goalkeeper Cornelio Petrigai to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 86 minutes into the match, Havana 3am's Alejandro Seme sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Cornelio Petrigai narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 88 minutes into the match, Roko Ranogajec had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cornelio Petrigai.
