Spectators: 6676 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1676, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Pablo Beltran started the match with the kick off. Agustin Cebo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 5 played minutes Irigoyen got a freekick which was hit by Jorge Ponce. After having played for 7 minutes, Ariel Lop managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Independiente's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ariel Lop was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 10th minute Ariel Lop shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Isidoro Eguerdi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Independiente's zone, Agustin Cebo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Celso Eleazar came out of the goal and Agustin Cebo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Artemio Perpinya had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Irigoyen's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Gabriel Marz in the 17th minute.

Pablo Beltran sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Agustin Cebo to make the kick off. Pablo Beltran struck a weak shot in the 55th minute.
