When the match had gone on for 21 minutes, Eusebio Ecija put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Teodoro Peio.

Deportivo Balvanera's François-Xavier Castello was substituted for Isaias Erroman. 73 minutes had been played when some careless play by Atlético Nacional's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.
