The Purples opened the scoring at 18 with a score by Christian Bolaños in the 18th minute, after a rejection after a rejection left by goalkeeper Leonel Moreira.
After 32 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Alonso Martínez might have resulted in another goal for Barlon Sequeira.
In the second half, at 63 Yurguin made it 2-1 for Hedgehogs with a free kick and three minutes later, at 66, the Honduran Alex López put the third with a shot from outside the area impossible for the goalkeeper.
