Estadio Alvear
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Maximiliano Enetz kicked off to start the match. 5 minutes into the game, Robustiano Pirmin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alvear's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Avellaneda the free kick. Robustiano Pirmin kicked well hit freekick during the 5th minute of the match. If Eleuterio Pagomari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Alvear defense, Eleuterio Pagomari kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Enzo Eder. The Alvear fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Enzo Eder should have stopped the shot. A collision led to Alvear getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Dalmacio Valiente hit a great ball. Florencio Iruinea recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 22nd minute, Florencio Iruinea 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. If Eleuterio Pagomari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Enzo Eder came out of the goal in the 29th minute to try and stop a shot by Avellaneda's Eleuterio Pagomari. But to his dismay, Eleuterio Pagomari quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. 33 minutes into the match, Avellaneda's goal looked a bit too open when Maximiliano Enetz came free, but Bernabe Galtero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 43rd minute, Avellaneda's Atilano Honesto seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Atilano Honesto the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Avellaneda protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Atilano Honesto had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Avellaneda:s Bernabe Galtero showed great skill when he stopped Igor Luar:s penalty. Maximiliano Enetz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Bernabe Galtero tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After the first half Avellaneda were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Eleuterio Pagomari made a kick off. Eleuterio Pagomari struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Enzo Eder didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Avellaneda. After 67 minutes, Gaudencio Ortzi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Avellaneda and the Alvear players grew even worse after the yellow card. Gaudencio Ortzi hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. 68 minutes into the match, Alvear's Igor Luar broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After 70 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Avellaneda! In the 72nd minute there was a penalty for Alvear. Igor Luar stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Bernabe Galtero. 1-2. Alvear's Ciro Mancio got a good chance for a goal in the 79th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 82nd minute Ciro Mancio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bernabe Galtero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gaudencio Ortzi struck a weak shot in the 85th minute. Enzo Eder didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Avellaneda. Enzo Eder made an important save on a dangerous shot by Eleuterio Pagomari in the 87th minute. After having played for 89 minutes, Ciro Mancio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Alvear's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ciro Mancio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Maximiliano Enetz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 97th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Avellaneda players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
