Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Gregorio Blai got the match started through his kick off.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gregorio Blai couldn't finish the play. Gregorio Blai sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Timoteo Paskal stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. A hard shot 54 in the game by Serafino Pelayo from a close distance when the talented Mateo Manni managed to make a qualified save. Guañizul's players were relieved. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Gregorio Blai in the 56th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Mateo Manni saved Guañizul from getting behind.

The referee showed Dionisio Gutxi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 60 played minutes Guañizul got a freekick which was hit by Dionisio Gutxi. If Gabriel Isias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Gabriel Isias's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Baltasar Estebano read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 73rd minute of play. 75 minutes into the match, Balcarce's goal looked a bit too open when Gabriel Isias came free, but Baltasar Estebano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
