RENE FAVALORO
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Walery Iwanowski started the match with the kick off. Javier Demario received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Gaspar Totakoxe tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Atlético Río Luján booed when YARARA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Reynaldo Franco didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gaspar Totakoxe didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Gabriel Batistuta went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. After 19 minutes, Albano Edorta mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the YARARA and the Atlético Río Luján players grew even worse after the yellow card. Walery Iwanowski's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Evelio Ikatz firmly grabbed it by the left post.

Gabriel Batistuta struck a weak shot in the 29th minute. Gaspar Totakoxe didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Atlético Río Luján. Gaspar Totakoxe showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Teo Cordeara in the 42nd minute of the match. After a rather tough play, YARARA's Emanuel Hurtig got a free kick in the 43rd minute. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

In the 51st minute, Herman Mossberg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 52nd minute Arsenio Loramendi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Evelio Ikatz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, YARARA's Gaspar Totakoxe got control of the ball when Teo Cordeara tried to sneak it across the goal line. Evelio Ikatz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Emanuel Hurtig, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute.
