Spectators: 7029 (Terracing: 5404, Seating: 1575, VIP seats: 50) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Eduardo Pudes took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Hernan Cristofol fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Elpidio Mano having to interfere.
