The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 8 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from E. Arndt, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. With 13 minutes played, N. Depetris of temblekes fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Good work by the temblekes defensive line after 16 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found P. Moya alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. V. Frutos of Criptor was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Criptor's F. Alvarado had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 31 minutes having been played. F. Sotomayor was the replacement. temblekes put themselves up 2 - 0 when E. Sánchez broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. At this point, it was obvious that the players of temblekes lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Sotomayor got himself booked. The manager of Criptor was not happy. E. Marín Valle made a brilliant save 35 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from A. Peraza on the right hand side. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Criptor, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

Criptor kept trying to force their way through on the right side and J. Osorio got his chance after 58 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. N. Depetris increased the lead for temblekes to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! temblekes's E. Menart left the field after 81 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was F. Domínguez. The temblekes captaincy was handed to P. Moya. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by temblekes, with 62 percent of the ball.

A. Miranda performed admirably for temblekes. E. Marín Valle was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Criptor player was without a doubt A. Peraza. On the other hand, P. Salinas's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
