Spectators: 7265 (Terracing: 5518, Seating: 1600, VIP seats: 147) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Leo Santxol took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience was convinced that Leo Santxol's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Germano Esteves was relentless in the 9th minute of the game. Cosme Galtero's late challenge caught a Atletico Iruya's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Libertad was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cosme Galtero didn't get a good kick on the ball. Leo Santxol struck a weak shot in the 16th minute. Germano Esteves didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Atletico Iruya. C.A.
