“Guatemala did not know the route to the goal that José Eulogio defended, and when he found the right path, it led him to the goal. It was a deadly attack in a match that was not very exciting or dramatic in the first few minutes”, as described by the Guatemalan News Agency.

In a play that took place on the Guatemalan left wing, it was the player Carlos Santos who took the ball and delivered a precision pass to the arrival of the national forward Arquímides Ordoñez, who, with a divine header, made it 1-0 to the surprise of the Mexicans. Guatemalan frenzy ensued.
