Spectators: 6669 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1669, VIP seats: 0) The audience thought a goal was coming when Saverio Txilar got free with Ricardo Cruz in the 3rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. A hard shot 9 in the game by Zacarias Locaio from a close distance when the talented Ricardo Cruz managed to make a qualified save. RIVER PLATE's players were relieved. In the 10th minute, Gabriel Mambru hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ricardo Cruz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Silvano Oliverios in the 11th minute of play. In the 16th minute, Twisted Transistor's Leandro Gabon ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Ricardo Cruz. Ricardo Cruz yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. In the 21st minute of the match, Julio Karmel tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Ricardo Cruz saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 23rd minute, Zacarias Locaio left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Twisted Transistor fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. Leandro Gabon kicked well hit freekick during the 26th minute of the match. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Julio Karmel was the one to do the kick off. In the 53rd minute Julio Karmel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardo Cruz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Serafin Iruinea blasted a shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Santos Aritza having to make a save. Julio Karmel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ricardo Cruz having to interfere. Ricardo Cruz didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Julio Karmel went, in the 65th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score. If Serafin Iruinea had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 78 minutes into the match, RIVER PLATE's goal looked a bit too open when Zacarias Locaio came free, but Ricardo Cruz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ricardo Cruz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aurelio Chus, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Zacarias Locaio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Julio Karmel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Twisted Transistor had played much better football throughout.
