Estadio Razzoni
Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Honorio Abechuco started the match with the kick off. Wilfredo Naelio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Octavio Fidencio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Prudencio Bingen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 15 minutes into the game, Prudencio Bingen was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Halcones Azules the free kick. Octavio Fidencio made a fantastic save in the 19th minute, when Lázaro Navarro sent off a good shot on target. Prudencio Bingen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karl-Oskar Odén having to interfere. In the 28th minute of the match Prudencio Bingen sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Karl-Oskar Odén skillfully saved the ball. When Lázaro Navarro came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Halcones Azules 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 Lázaro Navarro couldn't finish the play. After 40 played minutes, Halcones Azules's Anier Erauso shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Octavio Fidencio came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Halcones Azules reached it. 41 minutes into the match, C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL's goalkeeper Octavio Fidencio had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Lázaro Navarro. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lázaro Navarro to make the kick off. If Lázaro Navarro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lázaro Navarro took the ball and in the 53 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Octavio Fidencio. Octavio Fidencio dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. After 59 minutes, Fausto Salvino mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Halcones Azules and the C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL players grew even worse after the yellow card. Fausto Salvino kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. In the 60th minute of the match Silvano Venceslao shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Karl-Oskar Odén showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL's Enrique Peli was substituted for Feliciano Ibañez. Halcones Azules's Karl-Oskar Odén proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Halcones Azules from getting a goal against them. Karl-Oskar Odén was out of position in the 72 minute of play, and Honorio Abechuco capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Honorio Abechuco really showed his touch with that goal: 3-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Honorio Abechuco managed to get in a good position for a shot. C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL's supporters rose to their feet, but Honorio Abechuco was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karl-Oskar Odén breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Geronimo Chepe fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Octavio Fidencio having to interfere. A collision led to Halcones Azules getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Lázaro Navarro hit a great ball. After 85 played minutes, C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL's Daniel Gerazan shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Karl-Oskar Odén came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL reached it. In the 90th minute the ball was on its way in behind C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL's goalkeeper Octavio Fidencio, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Ceferino Romero came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the C. A. DEPORTIVO NAHUEL 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 Ceferino Romero couldn't finish the play. Tadeo Eleder kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. Daniel Gerazan was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 93rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Geronimo Chepe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Halcones Azules walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
