Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Robustiano Terciero took the kick off in the first half of the match. Leo Oro charged in rather forcefully in the 3rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Leo Oro the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Leo Oro hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. 7 minutes into the match, Defensores del Acha s.a.'s goal looked a bit too open when Ulises Padro came free, but Juan Navarro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Ulises Padro managed to get in a good position for a shot. Branquelme's supporters rose to their feet, but Ulises Padro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Juan Navarro breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Branquelme's Adriana Rivas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alejo Fiz in the 24th minute of play.

Juan Navarro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Robustiano Terciero, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. 31 minutes into the match, Gabriel Cristofol notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Defensores del Acha s.a.'s Juan Navarro. Juan Navarro was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 39 minutes into the match, Defensores del Acha s.a.'s Nereo Abella sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Adriana Rivas narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Juan Navarro came out of the goal in the 41st minute to try and stop a shot by Branquelme's Robustiano Terciero.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alejo Fiz made a kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Branquelme's goal looked a bit too open when Alejo Fiz came free, but Adriana Rivas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Adriana Rivas showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alejo Fiz in the 53rd minute of the match. Branquelme's Adriana Rivas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alejo Fiz in the 55th minute of play. Juan Navarro acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 63rd minute, took the ball on the long shot from Roberto Gaztea. Herminio Dolfo's late challenge caught a Branquelme's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Herminio Dolfo helped the player get up and apologised.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Gabriel Cristofol got free with Juan Navarro in the 82nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 84th minute, Alejo Fiz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Adriana Rivas was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. If Alejo Fiz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Defensores del Acha s.a. players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
