Estadio Rivera
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Zigor Lada started the match with the kick off. Xayveon Oliver's late challenge caught a CD Tunuyunga's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Xayveon Oliver helped the player get up and apologised. In the 3rd minute, Xayveon Oliver hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zigor Lada fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lavallén Miranda having to interfere. The attack was good, but when Agustin Mirones in the 10th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. In the 12th minute, Zorion Tamaron hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 13 minutes into the match, CD Tunuyunga's Joel Juarros broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Agustin Mirones in the 19th minute of play forced UD Rivera's goalkeeper Lavallén Balda to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 22nd minute, Caicedo Bracho left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The CD Tunuyunga fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Zigor Lada charged in rather forcefully in the 30th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

When Agustin Mirones came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the CD Tunuyunga 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 Agustin Mirones couldn't finish the play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Caicedo Bracho to make the kick off. Agustin Mirones was extremely unlucky when he, in the 52nd minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out.

Caicedo Bracho spun around in front of the goal 61 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of UD Rivera's goal. After a defensive mix-up in CD Tunuyunga's zone, Zigor Lada stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lavallén Miranda came out of the goal and Zigor Lada tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Rixon Albarellos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 76 minutes in the game, Agustin Mirones fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Lavallén Balda having to interfere. 83 minutes into the match, CD Tunuyunga's Agustin Mirones sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lavallén Balda narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Rixon Albarellos struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Lavallén Miranda didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for UD Rivera. 89 minutes into the game, Xamin Monterrey was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. CD Tunuyunga's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave UD Rivera the free kick. Xamin Monterrey hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. Lavallén Miranda made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zigor Lada in the 90th minute of play. If Rixon Albarellos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute.
