Anier Escobar made an important save on a dangerous shot by Aquiles Demesio in the 3rd minute. After having played for 5 minutes, Aquiles Demesio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rivadavia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aquiles Demesio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 7 minutes into the match, Rivadavia's goal looked a bit too open when Atilano Oalo came free, but Alejandro Nikola reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Atilano Oalo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 15th minute, Evaristo Azubeli managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rivadavia's supporters rose to their feet, but Evaristo Azubeli was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Celestino Bonifaco took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 40th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Alejandro Nikola.

All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Santiago Chico was the one to do the kick off. Alejandro Nikola was out of position in the 53 minute of play, and Atilano Oalo capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Atilano Oalo really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. The supporters of Rivadavia booed when Pitbull Terrier was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 58 match minutes in a wonderful position. Julian Omero didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rivadavia's Joel Aguirre couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 59th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Pitbull Terrier. In the 81st minute the ball was on its way in behind Pitbull Terrier's goalkeeper Anier Escobar, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Aquiles Demesio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anier Escobar having to interfere. Eloy Muno hit a great freekick 85 minutes into the match. In the 89th minute, Evaristo Azubeli ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Anier Escobar was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. In the 95th minute, Atilano Oalo fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post.
