Xavieon Acenero stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Urbano Harriet's shot from short distance in the 7th minute. Zeruko Matanza recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The supporters of Halcones Azules booed when Juventud Valiosa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 14 match minutes in a wonderful position. Darío Dorrego didn't get a good kick on the ball. Xano Mangas's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Vicente Berdoi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 19th minute of play. 20 minutes had been played when some careless play by Halcones Azules's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.
