After 11 played minutes Loventué got a freekick which was hit by Narciso Endira. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ramiro Gumaro in the 13th minute of play forced Burzaco FC's goalkeeper Benito Navarro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Benito Navarro made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ramiro Gumaro in the 45th minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit.
