After 6 minutes Parfrente FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Guido Mannuel who took care of the corner kick. Valdemar Quirino's late challenge caught a C. A. BELGRANO's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Valdemar Quirino helped the player get up and apologised.

Haroldo Chaves didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Teodosio Perfecto went, in the 25th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. 27 minutes into the match, Parfrente FC's goal looked a bit too open when Felipe Abechuco came free, but Haroldo Chaves reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

BELGRANO defense, Válbson Breckenfeld kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Amador Mateus. The C. A.

In the 85th minute, Valdemar Quirino 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. C. A.
