Fernando Álvarez opened the scoring for Montreal, followed by an equalizer from Sunderland -> Campana with 20 minutes left on the clock. Matías Cóccaro then put Montreal back in front with a well-taken goal, before another goal extended their lead to 3-1.

The final moments of the match saw a fantastic goal from Jordi Alba, highlighting the skill and determination displayed by both teams throughout the game.
