Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Zacarias Urtun kicked off to start the match. Jacobo Cucao hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. In the 5th minute Zacarias Urtun shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amadeo Tabor saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 10th minute, Prudencio Vedillo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Amadeo Tabor was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. The audience thought a goal was coming when Erasmo Maureo got free with Rene Goren in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Amadeo Tabor showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Prudencio Vedillo, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. Desiderio Elia's late challenge caught a chacarita juniors's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Desiderio Elia helped the player get up and apologised. After 23 played minutes, chacarita juniors's Urbano Terciero shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Amadeo Tabor 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 chacarita juniors reached it. After a defensive mix-up in San Lorenzo's zone, Zacarias Urtun stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amadeo Tabor came out of the goal and Zacarias Urtun tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Erasmo Maureo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. chacarita juniors's Rene Goren proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 30th minute of the match, managed to save chacarita juniors from getting a goal against them. Rene Goren was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Rodrigo Jakes showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 30 minute of play. In the 34th minute Conrado Gelmiro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amadeo Tabor saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Erasmo Maureo was the one to do the kick off. Rene Goren showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Rodrigo Jakes in the 55th minute of the match. San Lorenzo's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Rodrigo Jakes in the 56th minute. Amadeo Tabor was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Zacarias Urtun showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-2 in the 58 minute of play. San Lorenzo's Desiderio Elia got his second yellow card of the match in the 66th minute. The referee ordered Desiderio Elia off the ground. The supporters of chacarita juniors booed when San Lorenzo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Desiderio Elia didn't get a good kick on the ball. 73 minutes into the match, Prudencio Vedillo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Amadeo Tabor. San Lorenzo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Prudencio Vedillo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-3. chacarita juniors's Urbano Terciero shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 82nd minute of play. The shot was stopped by Amadeo Tabor but with some difficulty.

In a very dangerous position, a player in chacarita juniors fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 91st minute. Penalty!
