Bramall Lane
Spectators: 7203 (Terracing: 5404, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Abelardo Quintana started the match with the kick off. Herminio Estebano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Gonzalo Nazario made a fantastic save in the 12th minute, when Herminio Estebano sent off a good shot on target. Hector Otsoko showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cayetano Cidro in the 15th minute of the match. Herminio Estebano's late challenge caught a Concepción AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Herminio Estebano helped the player get up and apologised. Herminio Estebano hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. After 42 played minutes Sheffield United got a freekick which was hit by Fabian Gonsalve. 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Herminio Estebano stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 61 minutes into the game, Cayetano Cidro was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Concepción AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Sheffield United the free kick. Sheffield United's Hipolito Mannuel pulled a muscle in his leg after 68 minutes and couldn't finish the game. After 68 minutes, Carmelo Bittor mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Concepción AFC and the Sheffield United players grew even worse after the yellow card. Sheffield United's Teofilo Mattin was substituted for Hipolito Mannuel. The supporters of Sheffield United booed when Concepción AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 70 match minutes in a wonderful position. Carmelo Bittor didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gonzalo Hondo was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 81 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, Sheffield United's Gonzalo Hondo got a free kick in the 82nd minute. In the 83rd minute, Lucio Dantae 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. Mateo Abaurre kicked well hit freekick during the 91st minute of the match. Sheffield United succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Concepción AFC had controlled the match.
