Rey Bucanero gave Team Mexico an advantage when he pinned Alex Koslov 18 minutes, 5 seconds into the match. The next three eliminations were all from Team Mexico as Averno (by Sonjay Dutt), Volador Jr. (by Jay Lethal) and Rey Bucanero (by A.J. Styles) were eliminated. The fifth elimination of the night happened just over thirty minutes into the match as Sonjay Dutt was pinned by Héctor Garza. Five minutes later Último Guerrero took advantage of the referee being distracted to his Styles' with a low blow, allowing Guerrero to pin A.J. Styles evening the sides between the two teams to five-a-side. Further eliminations followed with Dos Caras Jr. (by Marco Corleone), Jay Lethal (by Dr. Wagner Jr.), Johnny Devine (by Shocker) and Héctor Garza (by Corleone) brought the numbers down to six in total, three on each team. At this point, Team International's Sabin and Shelley took advantage of their well-developed teamwork, having worked together as the Motor City Machine Guns since 2006, by double-teaming Dr. Wagner Jr. to allow Shelley to eliminate the Doctor over 47 minutes into the match. Just over a minute later Shocker and Último Guerrero countered one of Corleone's high flying moves to pin and eliminate Corleone from Team International. A double Superkick to Shocker allowed Shelley and Sabin to eliminate him, leaving Último Guerrero as the only member of Team Mexico. Último Guerrero was able to pin Chris Sabin, leaving only himself and Shelley. In the closing moments of the match, Último Guerrero managed to pin Sabin, eliminating him from the match. Minutes later Alex Shelley locked in a submission hold, then pulled Guerrero's mask off in the process out of view of the referee. The hold and Guerrero's attempts to cover his face led to Último Guerrero submitting to the hold moments later, giving Alex Shelley the victory and the International Gran Prix trophy. After the match Último Guerrero challenged Alex Shelley to a "Lucha de Apuestas", or "bet match", where Shelly would risk his hair against Guerrero's wrestling mask. Shelly said he would think about it and would give Guerrero an answer after he had a chance to relax. The main event for the 2008 "Leyenda de Plata" tournament was a singles match between CMLL's top "tecnico" Místico and one of CMLL's top "rudo" workers, Perro Aguayo Jr., who had been long-time rivals even prior to the match.
