Bombonera
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Melquiades Ihazintu started the match with the kick off. Alfredo Lopes who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 7thth minute tested the skills of Leopoldo Dimo when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Constantino Tonete hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. When Froilan Marz came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the Boca JrS 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 Froilan Marz couldn't finish the play. Froilan Txaran took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Melquiades Ihazintu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 15 minutes into the match, Boca JrS's goal looked a bit too open when Marcelino Demesio came free, but Froilan Txaran reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 21st minute Melquiades Ihazintu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Froilan Txaran saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Liniers's Leopoldo Dimo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 46th minute of the match, managed to save Liniers from getting a goal against them. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

In the 67th minute, Saverio Elixio ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Leopoldo Dimo was frozen by the shot and now it was 5-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Saverio Elixio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Boca JrS's supporters rose to their feet, but Saverio Elixio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Boca JrS's Alfredo Lopes was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Leopoldo Dimo in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Boca JrS fully deserved thier win.
