Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Arturo Flores took the kick off in the first half of the match.

In the 16th minute, Arsenio Cristos ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Braulio Berasko was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1.

Atlanta defense, Leandro Gaufred kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Braulio Berasko. The C. A. Atlanta fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Braulio Berasko should have stopped the shot. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Edgard Orlandus during the 33rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Edgard Orlandus hit a great freekick 33 minutes into the match. If Eulalio Faro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute.
