Estadio Roberto Arlt
Spectators: 7140 (Terracing: 5356, Seating: 1642, VIP seats: 142) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Remigio Fernendo started the match with the kick off. When Arturo Gaufred came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Esperanza AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Arturo Gaufred couldn't finish the play. After 9 minutes, Remigio Fernendo made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Los 7 locos FC's Bartolo Caradaro tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot.
