Before the end of the first half, Chicó was left with ten after the expulsion of Braynner Mejía for a hard foul on Edier Ocampo.
In the second half the home team went on the offensive and after a cross from the right, Juan José Arias wanted to clear, but he made a mistake and left it to Cruz who finished between Castillo's legs.
