Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mario Chago started the match with the kick off. Gaston Ledesma was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 3rd minute.
