Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Matias Betadur took the kick off in the first half of the match. Alfonso Gentza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Raimundo Ferman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfonso Gentza in the 6th minute of play forced Club Almagro's goalkeeper Raimundo Ferman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 9th minute, Cleto Pirmin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Esteban Nel might have been able to make a better finish in the 13th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nathaniel Connolly. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Esteban Nel ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 16th minute, Cleto Pirmin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Jairo Galeno fell near the penalty area in the 18th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Blanquiceleste F.C.'s protests and gave Jairo Galeno a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Blanquiceleste F.C.'s Jairo Galeno got a free kick in the 18th minute. If Matias Betadur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Matias Betadur in the 29th minute of play forced Blanquiceleste F.C.'s goalkeeper Nathaniel Connolly to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 31st minute, Cleto Pirmin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Jairo Galeno was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 32 minutes had been played. In the 33rd minute, Jairo Galeno hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nathaniel Connolly made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Matias Betadur in the 37th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Alfonso Gentza's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Raimundo Ferman was relentless in the 40th minute of the game. Braulio Jokin was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 45th minute. Club Almagro's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Cleto Pirmin hit a great freekick 51 minutes into the match. Matias Betadur sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Alfonso Gentza did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-1 to the left of a surprised Raimundo Ferman 55 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, Blanquiceleste F.C.'s Oscar Ursino got a free kick in the 68th minute. 69 minutes into the match, Blanquiceleste F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Matias Betadur came free, but Nathaniel Connolly reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 70th minute of the match Club Almagro got a corner. Blanquiceleste F.C.'s goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Eleuterio Naelio ran over to the corner to take the kick. Matias Betadur received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Nathaniel Connolly tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 84th minute, Alfonso Gentza fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. When Braulio Jokin came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Club Almagro 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 Braulio Jokin couldn't finish the play. The Club Almagro supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Blanquiceleste F.C.'s performance. The match ended with a win for Blanquiceleste F.C..
