Spectators: 7175 (Terracing: 5383, Seating: 1650, VIP seats: 142) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Tobias Ourente kicked off to start the match. Erasmo Giro might have been able to make a better finish in the 8th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Silverio Min. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Erasmo Giro ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 11th minute, Octavio Abel reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Silverio Min. The goal made the score 1-0. After 21 minutes, Honorato Ascencio mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the LucianoBenjamin and the Club Atletico River Plate players grew even worse after the yellow card. Silverio Iigo fired away a difficult shot at goal in the 22nd minute. He almost succeeded, but the ball bounced in the crossbar and then went out. It was a very nice shot. In the 27th minute, Tobias Ourente got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. When the match clock showed 27 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Zeledon Birjaio sped through Club Atletico River Plate's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Vinicio Reus. An unexpectedly hard shot by Octavio Abel in the 37th minute of play forced LucianoBenjamin's goalkeeper Silverio Min to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Vinicio Reus showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zeledon Birjaio, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Octavio Abel was the one to do the kick off. In the 52nd minute Zeledon Birjaio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vinicio Reus saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Roque Sugar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Vinicio Reus read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 54th minute of play. Octavio Abel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Erasmo Giro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Silverio Min having to interfere. Vinicio Reus showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Roque Sugar in the 75th minute of the match. Vinicio Reus made a fantastic save in the 76th minute, when Zeledon Birjaio sent off a good shot on target. An unexpectedly hard shot by Octavio Abel in the 77th minute of play forced LucianoBenjamin's goalkeeper Silverio Min to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 79 minutes, Zeledon Birjaio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. LucianoBenjamin's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zeledon Birjaio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Zeledon Birjaio in the 87th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Vinicio Reus saved Club Atletico River Plate from getting behind. Honorato Ascencio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Tobias Ourente had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Despite being the better team, Club Atletico River Plate failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
