Spectators: 7189 (Terracing: 5542, Seating: 1500, VIP seats: 147) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Omar Lauaxeta hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match. The supporters of Rivadavia FC booed when CHICAGO FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position.

Fabiano Macedo made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-1. When Evelio Tiadoro, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 69 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Pedro Odol was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. When Felipe Sidoro came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the CHICAGO FC 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 Felipe Sidoro couldn't finish the play. 75 minutes into the match, Bonifacio Berbiz had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fabiano Macedo. CHICAGO FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bonifacio Berbiz was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2. Silvio Calvet received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Fabiano Macedo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

CHICAGO FC's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
