Spectators: 7286 (Terracing: 5467, Seating: 1675, VIP seats: 144) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Matias Mendez took the kick off in the first half of the match. Lino Rosario received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Ricardo Librado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 10 minutes into the match, Belgrano de Córdoba's Matias Mendez sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ricardo Librado narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 12 minutes, Romulo Obeko mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Deportivo Gambeta and the Belgrano de Córdoba players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 13 played minutes Deportivo Gambeta got a freekick which was hit by Romulo Obeko. When Lino Rosario came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Belgrano de Córdoba fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Lino Rosario couldn't finish the play. If Eleuterio Venceslao had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Matias Mendez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Ricardo Librado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Belgrano de Córdoba's Orlando Cloyo got a free kick in the 39th minute. Eleuterio Venceslao sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Pascual Edorta to strike the kick off in the second half. If Pascual Edorta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pascual Edorta in the 62nd minute of play forced Belgrano de Córdoba's goalkeeper João Adolfo Lopez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Deportivo Gambeta booed when Belgrano de Córdoba was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 63 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cosme Oliverio didn't get a good kick on the ball. Through an outstanding action, after 74 minutes, João Adolfo Lopez successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Matias Mendez scored 1-0 in the 78th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ricardo Librado, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
