Bonifacio Astigar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pastor Cayo, who was totally free with the ball in the 8th minute. 9 minutes into the match, La MaKina del Parque's goal looked a bit too open when Jimeno Abarca came free, but Ubaldo Regis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When Ladislao Caetano came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the La MaKina del Parque fans jumped to their feet.

After 44 played minutes La MaKina del Parque got a freekick which was hit by Casimiro Bittor. In the 46th minute Jimeno Abarca shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ubaldo Regis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Laureano Quintana had several of the La MaKina del Parque's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 55 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-3 score and a disappointed Ubaldo Regis as he didn't even see the shot coming. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lucio Nardo in the 62nd minute of play forced C. S. D. Pueyrredón's goalkeeper Bonifacio Astigar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 63rd minute, Casimiro Bittor hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Lucio Nardo struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Bonifacio Astigar 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.

After 90 played minutes, La MaKina del Parque's Ceferino Clemencin shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Bonifacio Astigar 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 La MaKina del Parque reached it. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Evelio Odol in the 91st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Bonifacio Astigar prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Ladislao Caetano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Lucio Nardo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. C. S. D. Pueyrredón's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
