The long shot by Silvestre Bautista in the 4th minute really tested Teo Ponciano's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. After 11 minutes, Wilfredo Errapel mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Club Villa Mitre and the Ramblones FC players grew even worse after the yellow card.

In the 13th match minute, Club Villa Mitre was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Venancio Mino to maneuver through the defense. 15 minutes into the match, Club Villa Mitre's goal looked a bit too open when Ovidio Edorta came free, but Erasmo Gonchan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

If Ovidio Edorta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 25th minute, Cesar Chus ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Erasmo Gonchan was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1.
