A sloppy throw-in by Joshua Curbelo in the 6th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Lucio Txordon. Tautvydas Mickevičius took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Moises Fernandino, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Gogo Azibar quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Jorge Magrina, made in the 9th minute of the game. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's attentive Omar Erez managed to snatch the ball when Luis Rubio made a throw-in in the 15th minute of the game. Luis Rubio made in the 16th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Mateo Leguizamo immediately put the ball in play. 22 minutes had been played when some careless play by ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Mateo Leguizamo was slow to take the kick. During this time El Salvador's players had a chance to rest. After having played for 25 minutes, Davi Coutinho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Davi Coutinho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A sloppy throw-in by Luis Rubio in the 26th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Osvaldo Gabon. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Omar Erez managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Luis Rubio in the 29 minute of the game. In the 31st minute, Lucio Txordon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 32ndth minute of the game Moises Fernandino who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Tautvydas Mickevičius was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The audience was convinced that Moises Fernandino's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tautvydas Mickevičius was relentless in the 36th minute of the game. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Osvaldo Gabon quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Luis Rubio, made in the 40th minute of the game. Ricardo Weterio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Moises Fernandino was the one to do the kick off. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's attentive Osvaldo Gabon managed to snatch the ball when Luis Rubio made a throw-in in the 53rd minute of the game. Gabriel Turi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ricardo Zorita having to interfere. If Abram Luque had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Gogo Azibar hit a great ball. The supporters of ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA booed when El Salvador was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 70 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mateo Leguizamo didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 72 minutes of play, El Salvador's Abram Luque made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tautvydas Mickevičius was left in no man's land by his defense there! 78 minutes into the game, Omar Erez was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave El Salvador the free kick. After a rather tough play, ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Omar Erez got a free kick in the 78th minute. In the 81st minute, El Salvador's Moises Fernandino dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-2. After having played for 85 minutes, Gabriel Turi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gabriel Turi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Mateo Leguizamo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. If Davi Coutinho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.
