The players led by Miguel Ángel Jiménez, were well positioned in attack, with good ball circulation and with an impenetrable defense. As the minutes passed, the differences increased in favor of San José Obrero. At the end of the first 30 minutes, the scoreboard showed a clear 6 to 14 in favor of the capital team.
The second half continued with the same script. San José Obrero with a comfortable income, managed to control the game at will. The coach of San José Obrero took the opportunity to give minutes to the less usual players and distribute the minutes among all the members of the squad.
Zonzamas, wounded in his pride, did not throw in the towel so easily and managed to reduce the differences to four goals. San José Obrero reacted, putting several of the theoretical starters of the team on the court and again the differences were increasing. The capital team would once again distance themselves on the scoreboard and with the result of 16 to 24 the match would come to an end.
