Spectators: 6554 (Terracing: 5014, Seating: 1540, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ruperto Raphael took the kick off in the first half of the match. Victorino Ioritz lost his temper 11 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 11th minute, one of RIVER PLATE:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for RIVER PLATE. Ricardo Cruz had in the 13thth minute some difficulties stopping Geronimo Matei's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. In the 14th minute Geronimo Matei shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardo Cruz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the RIVER PLATE defense, Ruperto Raphael kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ricardo Cruz. The RIVER PLATE fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ricardo Cruz should have stopped the shot. In the 37th minute Eleuterio Onbera shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardo Cruz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. RIVER PLATE's Ricardo Cruz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ruperto Raphael in the 47th minute of play. After the first half Salomillo AC were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Serafin Iruinea made the kick off in the second half. Ruperto Raphael sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ruperto Raphael in the 71st minute of play forced RIVER PLATE's goalkeeper Ricardo Cruz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ruperto Raphael received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Ricardo Cruz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 85 minutes into the match, Fabian Kiliz notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of RIVER PLATE's Ricardo Cruz. Ricardo Cruz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 89 minutes into the match, RIVER PLATE's goalkeeper Ricardo Cruz had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Santo Galo. Salomillo AC played a much better game than RIVER PLATE and deserved their victory. The RIVER PLATE players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
