In the 10th match minute, Tabay was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leonardo Jokin to maneuver through the defense.

After 28 played minutes Sarandí AFC got a freekick which was hit by Silvio Bastian. Santiago Ruy's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 35thth minute, Santos Astigar skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Santiago Ruy fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Santos Astigar having to interfere. If Santiago Ruy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
