Salado managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 2 - 0 27 minutes into the game, Bassago seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. JRs earned themselves a free kick after a counterattack wasn't dealt with adequately by their opponents. A. Ubao powered the shot in for 2 - 1. 2 - 1 was the score after the first half. Bassago claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Bassago was able to get his message across, and raised Bassago's organisation to solid. During the break, JRs's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to passable organisation. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as JRs's F. Monroy put the ball in the onion bag after 47 minutes to make it 2 - 2. F. Monroy stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving JRs the goal to make it 2 - 3. With 67 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed A. Volinski of JRs to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 2 - 4. The visitors' A. Derval took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 77 minutes into the match. 2 - 5 for JRs. 78 minutes in, JRs appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. After 80 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Bassago found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to solid. A. Villabona of Bassago was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. F. Monroy received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 85 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 6. The JRs fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. At that, F. Monroy was noted down for a hat trick!

JRs enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Most important Bassago player was J. Ockenhouse. S. Guillamas on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating JRs player was without a doubt L. Cerro. On the other hand, R. Bichler's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 6.
