Mario Rohrman scored the fourth goal for International when he kicked the ball into the goal during a short melee after a corner kick.
Jaguar Juan Alfredo Abuawad then launched a counterattack by taking the ball down field on the ensuing kickoff and scoring in less than five seconds.
The tall Cooperative forward then scored again less than a minute later when he kicked in a rebound after a corner kick.

THAT MUST HAVE HURT! -- Griffin defender takes one for the team.
Giannina Gutierrez, Cooperative
He almost made it a one-goal game with a great header a short time later on which Griffin goalie Mauricio Nostas made a great save. The Jaguars would have other chances, including a header by Santiago Paz that Nostas also snared.
However, the Griffin defense stiffened at this point, and the final near-goal of the game was by Griffin Estennsoro who hit the left post shortly before the game ended.
