Estadio Vipos
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Damian Haimar kicked off to start the match. Federico Cerilo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arsenio Gaueko, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 5 minutes, Damian Haimar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sarmiento's supporters crossed their fingers, but Damian Haimar was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Generoso Ricart might have been able to make a better finish in the 6th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Agustin Salamon. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Generoso Ricart ran back to his position shaking his head. Mateo Espiridion sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 12 minutes into the match, Sarmiento's goal looked a bit too open when Arsenio Gaueko came free, but Federico Cerilo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 14 minutes into the match, Generoso Ricart had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Agustin Salamon. Vipos's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Generoso Ricart was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After having played for 22 minutes, Jacinto Macias managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Vipos's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jacinto Macias was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some careless play in the Vipos defense, Damian Haimar kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Agustin Salamon. The Vipos fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Agustin Salamon should have stopped the shot. Arsenio Gaueko received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute. Federico Cerilo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Agustin Salamon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Damian Haimar in the 32nd minute of the match. When the match had gone on for 34 minutes, Damian Haimar put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Agustin Salamon. 39 minutes into the game, Ezequiel Rivero was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Sarmiento's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Vipos the free kick. In the 39th minute, Ezequiel Rivero hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Generoso Ricart kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. When Generoso Ricart got the opportunity to take care of a free kick it resulted in a really dangerous shot that almost went in the goal. Instead the ball went too high, a missed opportunity for Sarmiento. In the 47th minute Arsenio Gaueko shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Federico Cerilo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Arsenio Gaueko to strike the kick off in the second half. Mateo Espiridion sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Vipos's Arsenio Gaueko got a good chance for a goal in the 54th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 55 played minutes Sarmiento got a freekick which was hit by Severino Eli. Raul Arixo 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 having played for 64 minutes, Ezequiel Rivero managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sarmiento's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ezequiel Rivero was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The long shot by Severino Eli in the 69th minute really tested Agustin Salamon's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. 72 minutes into the match, Sarmiento's Generoso Ricart sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Agustin Salamon narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Mateo Espiridion received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute.

Hector Romelio was slow to take the kick. During this time Vipos's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Hector Romelio got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Federico Cerilo quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save.
