Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Gervasio Txindoki took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eliseo Videl, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 6 minutes into the game, Rio de la Plata's Faustino Naldo nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Gervasio Txindoki made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. 18 minutes into the match, Rio de la Plata's Eliseo Videl sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gervasio Txindoki narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Faustino Naldo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gervasio Txindoki was relentless in the 31st minute of the game. Faustino Naldo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gervasio Txindoki having to interfere. If Edgard Gilabert had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Maximo Bartoleme fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Boedo FC's protests and gave Maximo Bartoleme a yellow card for diving instead. In the 47th minute the ball was on its way in behind Boedo FC's goalkeeper Gervasio Txindoki, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Edgard Gilabert to make the kick off. Candido Maule's late challenge caught a Boedo FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Candido Maule helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Rio de la Plata's Candido Maule got a free kick in the 51st minute. Eliseo Videl could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 54th minute of the match, but Gervasio Txindoki made a huge save. In the 59th minute Edgard Gilabert shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pascual Cresconio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Edgard Fresco charged in rather forcefully in the 64th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Edgard Fresco the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 64th minute, Edgard Fresco hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. During the 68th minute of the match Candido Maule completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Candido Maule a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. After a rather tough play, Rio de la Plata's Candido Maule got a free kick in the 69th minute. Edgard Gilabert received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 72nd minute. Pascual Cresconio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Boedo FC's Pastor Calisto got his second yellow card of the match in the 76th minute. The referee ordered Pastor Calisto off the ground. In the 77th minute, Pastor Calisto hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Eliseo Videl received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Gervasio Txindoki tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Eliseo Videl had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Boedo FC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Rio de la Plata were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
