A very good chance. 5 minutes into the game, Joel Phelipe cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Aureliano Manni was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. If Joel Phelipe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 16th minute Rodolfo Iratxo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aureliano Manni saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Benedicto Hanot charged in rather forcefully in the 19th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Arsenio Ricart stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Arsenio Ricart in the 53rd minute of play forced Pintita FC's goalkeeper Nicolas Cordara to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Joel Phelipe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 63rd minute, Arsenio Ricart reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Nicolas Cordara. The goal made the score 3-2. When Benedicto Hanot was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 66 minutes had been played. The supporters of Pintita FC booed when Caleufú was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Benedicto Hanot didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Caleufú's zone, Geronimo Enmanuel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Aureliano Manni came out of the goal and Geronimo Enmanuel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Geronimo Enmanuel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 74th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Joel Phelipe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aureliano Manni took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Joel Phelipe, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Caleufú's Aureliano Manni played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joel Phelipe in the 84th minute of play. Timoteo Iturri lost his temper 86 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Caleufú fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 85th minute. Penalty! In the 88th minute there was a penalty for Pintita FC.
