It was obvious that team UNIDO had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. UNIDO's A. Céspedes increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 62 minutes. By now, the players in UNIDO felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Fabiani got himself booked. The manager of panulcillo was not happy. T. Peñaranda was called on to replace panulcillo's B. Ferfelea after 73 minutes following a nasty collision. panulcillo's K. Nitkiewicz left the field after 78 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was M. Tetłak. UNIDO claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

UNIDO's best player was D. Villagrán. However, R. Cohuo made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating panulcillo player was without a doubt H. Harrer. On the other hand, M. Tetłak's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
