Spectators: 7220 (Terracing: 5416, Seating: 1661, VIP seats: 143) 3 minutes into the match, Natalia Natalia FC's goalkeeper Nicanor Stanislao had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jonas Suero. After 6 minutes of play, Natalia Natalia FC's Erasmo Viator made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tarcisio Negri was left in no man's land by his defense there! The supporters of C.A. Independiente booed when Natalia Natalia FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Erasmo Viator didn't get a good kick on the ball. 20 minutes into the match, Maximo Mero had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tarcisio Negri. C.A. Independiente's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Maximo Mero was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Armando Pello fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tarcisio Negri having to interfere. Edgard Lonzo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bernabe Dodorol took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 33rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Tarcisio Negri. C.A. Independiente's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. If Armando Pello had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 40th minute, Alberto Martxel ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tarcisio Negri was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-3. Maximo Mero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Tarcisio Negri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Armando Pello in the 47th minute of play forced C.A. Independiente's goalkeeper Tarcisio Negri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Armando Pello was the one to do the kick off. Natalia Natalia FC's Nicanor Stanislao played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Edgard Lonzo in the 56th minute of play. Tarcisio Negri made an important save on a dangerous shot by Maximo Mero in the 59th minute. Edgard Lonzo struck a weak shot in the 70th minute. Nicanor Stanislao didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for C.A. Independiente. In the 73rd minute, Edgard Lonzo 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. 74 minutes into the match, C.A. Independiente's Herminio Panfilo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Nicanor Stanislao narrowly saved just below the crossbar. It was beautiful to see C.A. Independiente's Cauan Coelho in action when he in the 78th minute dribbled his way through a couple of opponents and the fired away a shot from almost standing still. First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance! Tarcisio Negri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Armando Pello, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 95th minute the ball was on its way in behind C.A. Independiente's goalkeeper Tarcisio Negri, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The Natalia Natalia FC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
