Nelson Cabanillas took a corner kick that was picked up by Andy Polo, but his shot missed the target. In the 22nd minute, Martín Pérez Guedes recovered the ball and passed it to Piero Quispe.
Quispe bravely faced UTC's defense, but his pass was intercepted at the last moment. The surprise of the night came ten minutes later. Williams Riveros recovered the ball, which ended up at the feet of Luis Urruti.
