Spectators: 7259 (Terracing: 5446, Seating: 1669, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Braulio Honesto started the match with the kick off. After having played for 8 minutes, Arnoldo Quintan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. C.S.y D.Pinamar's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arnoldo Quintan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 9 minutes into the match, Manju's goal looked a bit too open when Anacleto Merexildo came free, but Gogo Pelayo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Anacleto Merexildo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Arnoldo Quintan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Anacleto Merexildo in the 24th minute of play forced Manju's goalkeeper Gogo Pelayo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Elvio Figueroa scored 0-1 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Marcos Nascimento, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The wind increased when Anacleto Merexildo made the kick off in the second half.

In the 70th match minute, Manju was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marciano Chano to maneuver through the defense. Anacleto Merexildo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 72nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Juan Urre kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. A hard and well directed shot from Teo Txurio led 76 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Manju's Gogo Pelayo became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 1-1. In the 81st minute, Juan Urre hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Arnoldo Quintan's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gogo Pelayo was relentless in the 83rd minute of the game. Marcos Nascimento made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Braulio Honesto in the 91st minute of play. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
