Spectators: 7677 (Terracing: 5758, Seating: 1766, VIP seats: 153) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Eliseo Nahia started the match with the kick off. Sunkens Surtröjor's Folke Frisk got a good chance for a goal in the 4th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Americo Duardo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Folke Frisk in the 8th minute of play. With an all-out effort, Club Almirante Brown's Karl-Magnus Anundsson threw himself towards the right post 13 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Eliseo Nahia, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 15th minute the ball was on its way in behind Club Almirante Brown's goalkeeper Americo Duardo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Americo Duardo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Malte Gerdberg, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute. 23 minutes into the game, Club Almirante Brown's Tomas Jaizki nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Karl-Magnus Anundsson made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. After having played for 25 minutes, Augusto Ilazki managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Club Almirante Brown's supporters crossed their fingers, but Augusto Ilazki was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Club Almirante Brown's Americo Duardo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Folke Frisk in the 29th minute of play.

Tomas Jaizki, 46 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Folke Frisk stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eliseo Nahia in the 56th minute of play forced Sunkens Surtröjor's goalkeeper Karl-Magnus Anundsson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With 58 minutes on the clock, Kennet Tidéksson commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. Club Almirante Brown made a substitution. Diego Cerilo replaced Eliseo Nahia. Augusto Ilazki recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 61st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some careless play in the Sunkens Surtröjor defense, Diego Cerilo kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Karl-Magnus Anundsson. The Sunkens Surtröjor fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Karl-Magnus Anundsson should have stopped the shot. Ludvig Sundin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Americo Duardo having to interfere. In the 74th minute, Diego Cerilo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of Club Almirante Brown booed when Sunkens Surtröjor was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Malte Gerdberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Diego Cerilo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 80th minute Augusto Ilazki shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karl-Magnus Anundsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 81st match minute, Sunkens Surtröjor was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bengt Vennerkvist to maneuver through the defense.

After a rather tough play, Club Almirante Brown's Edgard Rodas got a free kick in the 96th minute. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Club Almirante Brown fully deserved thier win.
