Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gonzalo Blasco took the kick off in the first half of the match. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Gervasio Valiente during the 3rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 3rd match minute, Lanteri was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gervasio Valiente to maneuver through the defense. In the 4th minute, Bonifacio Sarracino sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Lanteri's Laureano Hug didn't even have to move. Aston Birra's Cirilo Fraco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eugenio Romero in the 11th minute of play. In the 14th minute the ball was on its way in behind Aston Birra's goalkeeper Cirilo Fraco, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Eugenio Romero sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 22 minutes into the match, Eugenio Romero had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cirilo Fraco. Aston Birra's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Eugenio Romero was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Cristian Huly received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Laureano Hug tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 37 minutes of play Lanteri's Gervasio Valiente was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. The supporters of Aston Birra booed when Lanteri was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gervasio Valiente didn't get a good kick on the ball. Thanks to some nice moves Cristian Huly could shoot a difficult shot in the 38th minute, which Laureano Hug however easily saved by the left post. Gonzalo Blasco hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Damaso Romo to strike the kick off in the second half. Jacinto Joachim might have been able to make a better finish in the 54th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Laureano Hug. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jacinto Joachim ran back to his position shaking his head. Lorenzo Berart hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match. After recieving a nice pass, Aston Birra's Bonifacio Sarracino tried to score from far away in the 57th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. In the 66th minute, Cristian Huly 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. Cristian Huly fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Laureano Hug having to interfere. Laureano Hug showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Damaso Romo, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. Aston Birra's Cristian Huly got a good chance for a goal in the 72nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When Eugenio Romero came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Lanteri 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 Eugenio Romero couldn't finish the play. Cristian Huly struck a weak shot in the 77th minute. Laureano Hug didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Aston Birra. In the 80th minute the ball was on its way in behind Aston Birra's goalkeeper Cirilo Fraco, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Laureano Hug took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristian Huly, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Eugenio Romero might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Cirilo Fraco. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Eugenio Romero ran back to his position shaking his head. Eugenio Romero recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Eugenio Romero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
