Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Marciano Ferman kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, FC Spartan's Marcelo Egoitz got a free kick in the 3rd minute. A nice corner shot did that Constantino Elixio got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Clodoveo Fidele quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Augusto Munio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Clodoveo Fidele tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 11th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC Spartan's goalkeeper Clodoveo Fidele, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Paolo Gelmiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, FC Spartan's Gonzalo Domingues got a free kick in the 20th minute. Paolo Gelmiro got in the 21st a clear chance and fired away a hard shot against goal, but Clodoveo Fidele handled the situation perfectly and made a save by the crossbar.

At first the shot seemed to be simple for FC Spartan's Clodoveo Fidele to catch but Constantino Elixio was lucky. It became 0-1 after the goalkeeper had been careless and dropped the ball into goal. The supporters of Malvinas booed when FC Spartan was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 29 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marciano Ferman didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 35thth minute of the game Paolo Gelmiro who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Spartan's Clodoveo Fidele was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

The Malvinas fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2.

After some careless play in the FC Spartan defense, Augusto Munio kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Clodoveo Fidele. The FC Spartan fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Clodoveo Fidele should have stopped the shot.

The wind increased when Augusto Munio made the kick off in the second half. Pascual Lizardi struck a weak shot in the 51st minute. Isidoro Quinteros didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Spartan.
