Spectators: 159 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Eusebio Veronica got the match started through his kick off. In the 4th minute Jorge Cai shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Candido Quinteros saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 9th minute, C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ's Esteban Cai seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Esteban Cai the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Esteban Cai had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. A collision led to C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Esteban Cai hit a great ball. In the 10th minute of the match Eusebio Veronica sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Silvio Benino skillfully saved the ball. 12 minutes into the match, C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ's Timoteo Bertran sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Candido Quinteros narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Silvio Benino took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Placido Ilazki, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ's Silvio Benino played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Placido Ilazki in the 16th minute of play. Timoteo Bertran received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Candido Quinteros came out and tried to block the shot, but Timoteo Bertran slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 19th minute. In the 31st minute, Nemesio Ricart hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 32nd minute, Eusebio Veronica 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. Jonathan Handi took the ball and in the 42 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Silvio Benino. Silvio Benino dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Rodolfo Enaut stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Ramiro Domeka fell near the penalty area in the 51st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Acratas Unidos's protests and gave Ramiro Domeka a yellow card for diving instead. Ramiro Domeka hit a great freekick 51 minutes into the match. Timoteo Bertran fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Candido Quinteros having to interfere. Candido Quinteros took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rodolfo Enaut, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 67 minutes into the match, C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ's goal looked a bit too open when Placido Ilazki came free, but Silvio Benino reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 69 minutes into the game, Tomas Gabirel cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Candido Quinteros was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ made a substitution. Jonathan Feo replaced Florencio Cordaryal. C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ's Timoteo Jenaro was substituted for Jorge Cai. The supporters of C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ booed when Acratas Unidos was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jonathan Handi didn't get a good kick on the ball. 74 minutes into the match, Acratas Unidos's goal looked a bit too open when Timoteo Bertran came free, but Candido Quinteros reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match had gone on for 77 minutes, Rodolfo Enaut put it in 3-1 from a short distance just to the right of Candido Quinteros. Eusebio Veronica kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Acratas Unidos's Placido Ilazki got a free kick in the 86th minute. The audience was convinced that Rodolfo Enaut's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Candido Quinteros was relentless in the 89th minute of the game. If Placido Ilazki had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The C.A.Ituzaingo Ψ fans cheered their team off the field, for while Acratas Unidos had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
