Spectators: 7207 (Terracing: 5407, Seating: 1657, VIP seats: 143) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Abelardo Rainerio took the kick off in the first half of the match. Marcos Jurdan might have been able to make a better finish in the 7th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ezequiel Atauri. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Marcos Jurdan ran back to his position shaking his head. After 16 played minutes Flavio Niguel rounded Crespo's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-0. Ezequiel Atauri showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Marcos Jurdan in the 20th minute of the match. After 31 minutes, Apolo Rameriz mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Crespo and the Tartagal Forever players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 31 played minutes Crespo got a freekick which was hit by Apolo Rameriz. In the 35th minute the ball was on its way in behind Tartagal Forever's goalkeeper Ezequiel Atauri, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Crespo's Marcos Jurdan got a good chance for a goal in the 41st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 43 minutes of play, Crespo's Abelardo Rainerio made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ezequiel Atauri was left in no man's land by his defense there! The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The wind increased when Flavio Niguel made the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Crespo's Astor Laffitte got a free kick in the 52nd minute. Fermin Rius made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nemesio Leoiar in the 55th minute of play. Flavio Niguel scored 2-1 in the 63rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Fermin Rius, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. A collision led to Tartagal Forever getting a freekick after 71 minutes play. Jimeno Tabor hit a great ball. In the 74th minute of the match Crespo got a corner. Tartagal Forever's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Everardo Senin ran over to the corner to take the kick. Tartagal Forever's Nemesio Leoiar got a good chance for a goal in the 77th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Astor Laffitte charged in rather forcefully in the 78th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Astor Laffitte the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nemesio Leoiar in the 80th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Fermin Rius saved Crespo from getting behind. Astor Laffitte kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. Apolo Rameriz hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. Abelardo Rainerio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ezequiel Atauri acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 96th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Baldomiro Cordaryal. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Tartagal Forever had won after a very even match.
