Generoso Nikola scored 0-1 in the 14th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Freddy Celio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Bernardo Orlondon kicked well hit freekick during the 37th minute of the match. A collision led to El Famoso RIFLE getting a freekick after 39 minutes play. Eleuterio Frances hit a great ball. Domingo Argi might have been able to make a better finish in the 41st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Elias Bernaldo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Domingo Argi ran back to his position shaking his head.

If Domingo Argi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 56 minutes in the game, Generoso Nikola fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Freddy Celio having to interfere.
