Vanja Pelko began the rally in the 61st minute before Alex Junior Álvarez Rojas completed it with a 92nd-minute strike, assisted by Sergio Adrián Mendoza Espínola.

Nacional received yellow cards for Richard Ariel Cabrera Aveiro and Francisco Javier Báez Ramírez in the second half. The win marks a strong start to the league campaign for Sportivo Trinidense.
