With a left leg Kaan Safir saved Chivos from getting behind. In the 13th minute of the match Argentina got a corner. Chivos's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Armando Felipillo ran over to the corner to take the kick.

In the 32nd match minute, Chivos was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Amancio Pinto to maneuver through the defense. 33 minutes into the match, Chivos's goal looked a bit too open when Benedicto Naelio came free, but Kaan Safir reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 34 minutes had been played when some careless play by Chivos's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Armando Felipillo was slow to take the kick. During this time Argentina's players had a chance to rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Benedicto Naelio to make the kick off. In the 53rdth minute of the game Benedicto Naelio who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Chivos's Kaan Safir was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Benedicto Naelio received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Kaan Safir came out and tried to block the shot, but Benedicto Naelio slotted it home off the left post making it 0-3 in the 57th minute. Argentina's Roman Gregory was substituted for Benedicto Naelio. 66 minutes into the match, Chivos's goal looked a bit too open when Loco Durazno came free, but Kaan Safir reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Loco Durazno sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 69 minutes into the match, Roman Gregory had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Kaan Safir. Chivos's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Roman Gregory was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-4. Argentina's Lev Yashin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pedro Jaunti in the 73rd minute of play.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Kaan Safir prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Kaan Safir made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Roman Gregory in the 84th minute of play.

Kaan Safir was a little too slow when Loco Durazno got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 87th minute. The score was now 0-5. Kaan Safir made an important save on a dangerous shot by Carlos Eufrasio in the 92nd minute.
