The island team could not even overcome the 1-0 lead which Port Layola defended until the end of the game.

As the ball rolled in the match's second half, Pirates started dominating the ball game. But their attempts did not break Port Layola's barrier for a goal. As they continued to pressure, Port Layola's Michael Palacio sneaked through San Pedro's defence in the 67th minute and scored its only goal. The island team tried as best as possible, but by the time the game ended, the score favoured Port Layola, 1-0. This result was expected to see Port Layola taking the top of the PLB standings, a position previously held by the San Pedro Pirates for the past three weeks.
