The strong first half continued when Emil Rasmussen found the back of the net off of a set piece by Adrian Camacho. To cap off the scoring in the first half Alexis Ledoux scored in the 37^th minute after being assisted by Alejandro Larrayoz.
 
At halftime, UC was up 3-1 and were dominating for the entirety of the half save the lone goal by Silva.
