Estadio Rucachoroi
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Damaso Martxelin kicked off to start the match. Chañarmuyo's Damaso Martxelin got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When Epifanio Santo came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the Chañarmuyo 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 Epifanio Santo couldn't finish the play. Rucachoroi AFC's Mateo Raulo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Epifanio Santo in the 11th minute of play. The supporters of Chañarmuyo booed when Rucachoroi AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Roberto Ostargi didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Mateo Raulo made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. After 22 minutes, Martin Cibran mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Rucachoroi AFC and the Chañarmuyo players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Rucachoroi AFC's Martin Cibran got a free kick in the 23rd minute. When Nicasio Fix fell near the penalty area in the 24th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Chañarmuyo's protests and gave Nicasio Fix a yellow card for diving instead. Guaberto Gustau showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ernesto Pinto, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. Edelmiro Santikurtz could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 32nd minute of the match, but Guaberto Gustau made a huge save. Roberto Ostargi's late challenge caught a Chañarmuyo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Roberto Ostargi helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Rucachoroi AFC getting a freekick after 37 minutes play. Roberto Ostargi hit a great ball. Mateo Raulo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Damaso Martxelin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in Chañarmuyo's zone, Ernesto Pinto stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Guaberto Gustau came out of the goal and Ernesto Pinto tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Damaso Martxelin in the 47th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Mateo Raulo prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Ernesto Pinto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Guaberto Gustau having to interfere. Mateo Raulo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Damaso Martxelin, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. Teodoro Berart struck a weak shot in the 65th minute. Mateo Raulo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Chañarmuyo. With his leg Mateo Raulo managed to avoid a goal in the 67thth minute, when Chañarmuyo's Damaso Martxelin fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. 69 minutes into the match, Chañarmuyo's goal looked a bit too open when Edelmiro Santikurtz came free, but Guaberto Gustau reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match had gone on for 69 minutes, Ernesto Pinto put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Guaberto Gustau.
