J. Cogüa was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! 4 minutes into the match, the technically gifted A. Gaudiano of independiente scored 1 - 0, having made A. Pataquiva look like a complete fool. J. Cogüa increased independiente's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. J. Orjuela received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 27 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of independiente to 3 - 0 as J. Cogüa finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The players of independiente now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. independiente's R. Montealegre increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 39 minutes. After 40 minutes, T. Tapia Vega put independiente ahead 5 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Things were deteriorating for the away team as independiente scored another to make it 6 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for C. Almeciga after 41 minutes.

independiente managed to extend their lead to 7 - 0 when A. Gaudiano cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. independiente's T. Tapia Vega had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 64 minutes having been played. A. Placente was the replacement. With 65 minutes played, independiente put themselves up 8 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Almeciga, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in independiente's M. Guezala increasing the lead to 9 - 0. L. Quimbay increased the lead for independiente to 10 - 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! Possession in this half belonged to independiente, who controlled the ball 79 percent of the time.

independiente's top performer was clearly A. Gaudiano. However, M. Guezala made a disastrous appearance. Most important Cabos player was M. Bonilla. On the other hand, J. Caro's play was disheartening. The match ends 10 - 0.
