Silvestre was shown a yellow card after 33 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Halftime score was 0 - 0. freezerteam enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

After 55 minutes, the freezerteam coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving M. Iturren off the field. S. Carrazzoni took his place. Down the middle came S. Carrazzoni, making a fantastic play that nearly had freezerteam take the lead after 73 minutes, but E. Amezqueta preserved the tie. E. Amezqueta looked great 80 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' M. Echavarri. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by freezerteam, with 57 percent of the ball.
