Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lucio Toli started the match with the kick off. Andant's Ceferino Beltza played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ambrosio Pinto in the 8th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Sanagasta FC's zone, Lucio Toli stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

In the 17th minute, Esteban Llorenc hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Lucio Toli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute.

After having played for 48 minutes, Lucio Toli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Andant's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lucio Toli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.
