Spectators: 7450 (Terracing: 5589, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lucio Nardo started the match with the kick off. Joaquin Abar made a fantastic save in the 5th minute, when Ladislao Caetano sent off a good shot on target. La MaKina del Parque's Ladislao Caetano got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some careless play in the C.A BoQuiTa JrS defense, Pastor Cayo kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Joaquin Abar. The C.A BoQuiTa JrS fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Joaquin Abar should have stopped the shot. In the 23rd minute, La MaKina del Parque's Lucio Nardo dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-0.

In the 28th minute, Gaspar Valerio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Lucio Nardo got free with Joaquin Abar in the 29th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 29th match minute, C.A BoQuiTa JrS was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Astor Elorri to maneuver through the defense. Samuel Urtungo hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. After having played for 37 minutes, Emilio Montrel managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. C.A BoQuiTa JrS's supporters crossed their fingers, but Emilio Montrel was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Joaquin Abar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ladislao Caetano in the 43rd minute of play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The wind increased when Geronimo Eli made the kick off in the second half. Ladislao Caetano received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Joaquin Abar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, C.A BoQuiTa JrS's Astor Elorri got a free kick in the 56th minute.

In the 70th match minute, La MaKina del Parque was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Santos Lixandro to maneuver through the defense. Joaquin Abar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lucio Nardo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Ladislao Caetano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 85th minute Pastor Cayo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Joaquin Abar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 89 minutes into the match, C.A BoQuiTa JrS's goal looked a bit too open when Ladislao Caetano came free, but Joaquin Abar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Astor Elorri was shown his second yellow card after 89 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. Gaspar Valerio kicked well hit freekick during the 91st minute of the match. Ceferino Clemencin struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. Joaquin Abar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for La MaKina del Parque.
