Estadio Alijilán
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.

Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Americo Azevedo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gregorio Baumer made a kick off. Ismael Roland showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Donato Innocenzio, who was totally free with the ball in the 57th minute.
