Spectators: 7140 (Terracing: 5356, Seating: 1642, VIP seats: 142) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Leonel Cordairo got the match started through his kick off. In the 7th minute, Fausto Polo 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. Adrian Bartoli could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 10th minute of the match, but Cayetano Gorka made a huge save. In the 15th minute of the match Cosme Naldo shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Cayetano Gorka showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Cayetano Gorka showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Everardo Carlomagno, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. When Adrian Bartoli came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Defensores Unidos Zarate 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 Adrian Bartoli couldn't finish the play. In the 27th minute Ivan Lluques shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Antonio Quintana saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Leonel Cordairo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 29th match minute, Defensores Unidos Zarate was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Baldomero Gaztea to maneuver through the defense. Ivan Lluques struck a weak shot in the 30th minute. Antonio Quintana didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sotelo. In the 32nd minute, Adrian Bartoli 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. Ivan Lluques received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Antonio Quintana tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Adrian Bartoli made a kick off. In the 51stth minute of the game Adrian Bartoli who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Sotelo's Cayetano Gorka was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Leonel Cordairo in the 53rd minute of play forced Defensores Unidos Zarate's goalkeeper Antonio Quintana to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Sotelo's Leonel Cordairo got a good chance for a goal in the 55th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 57 minutes into the match, Adrian Bartoli notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Sotelo's Cayetano Gorka. Cayetano Gorka was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Everardo Carlomagno received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 65th minute. Cayetano Gorka tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Fausto Polo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Defensores Unidos Zarate's supporters rose to their feet, but Fausto Polo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Cayetano Gorka breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 74th minute, Everardo Carlomagno 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. Jeremias Galoer charged in rather forcefully in the 76th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jeremias Galoer the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 77th minute, Jeremias Galoer hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 80 minutes in the game Leandro Salbatore did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Nereo Magdaleno. The supporters of Defensores Unidos Zarate booed when Sotelo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 81 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ermegildo Firmin didn't get a good kick on the ball. 96 minutes into the match, Defensores Unidos Zarate's goalkeeper Antonio Quintana had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ivan Lluques. Sotelo's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
