Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Casimiro Ugutz started the match with the kick off. Natalio Gagriel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 2nd minute. Vicky Donda tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Natalio Gagriel who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 14thth minute tested the skills of Vicky Donda when he managed to save the team from getting behind. A hard shot 15 in the game by Natalio Gagriel from a close distance when the talented Vicky Donda managed to make a qualified save. Nouvelle Vague's players were relieved. In the 27th minute Casimiro Ugutz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Serafin Bernal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 28th minute, Talleres de Escalada's Natalio Gagriel dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. Xepe Godan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 32nd minute of the match, but Vicky Donda made a huge save. Folke Billberg hit a great freekick 39 minutes into the match. 40 minutes into the match, Nouvelle Vague's goal looked a bit too open when Xepe Godan came free, but Vicky Donda reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 43 minutes into the match, Casimiro Ugutz had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Serafin Bernal. Talleres de Escalada's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Casimiro Ugutz was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Fang Lang Mo to make the kick off. Casimiro Ugutz could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 56th minute of the match, but Serafin Bernal made a huge save. Fang Lang Mo scored 2-1 in the 62nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Vicky Donda, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Nouvelle Vague made a substitution. Osmar Vale replaced Vito Genovese. Natalio Gagriel might have been able to make a better finish in the 66th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Vicky Donda. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Natalio Gagriel ran back to his position shaking his head. Vicky Donda showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fang Lang Mo, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. Talleres de Escalada's defense didn't have a chance, in the 77th minute, when Luis Henrico scored to the left of an out of position Serafin Bernal, making the score, 2-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luis Henrico in the 81st minute of play forced Talleres de Escalada's goalkeeper Serafin Bernal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Thibault Moon made in the 90th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Nouvelle Vague's Hugo Barros. Talleres de Escalada's Serafin Bernal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Luis Henrico in the 93rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luis Henrico in the 95th minute of play forced Talleres de Escalada's goalkeeper Serafin Bernal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 97th minute Luis Henrico shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Serafin Bernal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nouvelle Vague were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
