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. German Vedillo started the match with the kick off. When Godfredo Perez came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Ovejería 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 Godfredo Perez couldn't finish the play. Enzo Cordareo lost his temper 14 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 15th minute, Enzo Cordareo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Benicio Hechter got free with Pascual Abastas in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 23 minutes into the game, Urbano Enmanuel was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ovejería's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave C.A. Boca Juniors the free kick. Ovejería's defense didn't have a chance, in the 25th minute, when German Vedillo scored to the left of an out of position Pascual Abastas, making the score, 1-0. In the 31st match minute, C.A. Boca Juniors was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by German Vedillo to maneuver through the defense. Justino Tello fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amancio Filipo having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Justino Tello managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ovejería's supporters rose to their feet, but Justino Tello was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Amancio Filipo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Justino Tello had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 42 minutes into the match, Roque Ospin notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of C.A. Boca Juniors's Amancio Filipo. Amancio Filipo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Godfredo Perez recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 46th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Ovejería's Godfredo Perez got a good chance for a goal in the 57th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
