Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Lisandro Hodei made the kick off which started today's match. In the 5th match minute, Club Atlético Atlanta was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Pedro Rojelio to maneuver through the defense. Bonifacio Fraco might have been able to make a better finish in the 6th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Melquiades Salvatore. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Bonifacio Fraco ran back to his position shaking his head. Artemio Jaunti hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. After 12 played minutes Club Atlético Atlanta got a freekick which was hit by Rene Luzea. When Lisandro Hodei came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Monte Hermoso Beach 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 Lisandro Hodei couldn't finish the play. In the 18th minute, Lisandro Hodei got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After 19 minutes, Rene Luzea mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Club Atlético Atlanta and the Monte Hermoso Beach players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 19th minute, Rene Luzea hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Melquiades Salvatore took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lisandro Hodei, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 22nd minute, Benjamin Arotza managed to get in a good position for a shot. Monte Hermoso Beach's supporters rose to their feet, but Benjamin Arotza was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Melquiades Salvatore breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to Club Atlético Atlanta getting a freekick after 26 minutes play. Pedro Rojelio hit a great ball.

Jonatan Enekoitz was a little too slow when Artemio Jaunti got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 36th minute. The score was now 1-1. Bonifacio Fraco struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Melquiades Salvatore didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal.

In the 47th minute Benjamin Arotza shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Melquiades Salvatore saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Miguel Joseph's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 55thth minute, Melquiades Salvatore skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Gregorio Bastian sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 62nd minute, Gregorio Bastian reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Melquiades Salvatore. The goal made the score 1-3. 65 minutes into the match, Gregorio Bastian notched a goal, 1-4, to the right of Club Atlético Atlanta's Melquiades Salvatore. Melquiades Salvatore was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Miguel Joseph received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Melquiades Salvatore tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 82 minutes into the game, Gregorio Bastian lined in a short shot 1-5 behind a frustrated Melquiades Salvatore.

Gregorio Bastian had several of the Club Atlético Atlanta's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 94 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-6 score and a disappointed Melquiades Salvatore as he didn't even see the shot coming. When the final whistle sounded Monte Hermoso Beach left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Club Atlético Atlanta.
