Estadio ALBERDI
Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alfredo Llanos started the match with the kick off. 5 minutes into the match, Silvestre Quinton had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alfredo Olave. Belgrano de Pibasog's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Silvestre Quinton was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Valentim Barco in the 8th minute of play forced Nippur de Lagash 2's goalkeeper Jonathan De Mitri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Belgrano de Pibasog's Alfredo Olave played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Silvestre Quinton in the 12th minute of play. After some careless play in the Nippur de Lagash 2 defense, Alfredo Llanos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jonathan De Mitri. The Nippur de Lagash 2 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jonathan De Mitri should have stopped the shot. In the 16th minute, Belgrano de Pibasog's Delfim Ferreira seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Delfim Ferreira the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Belgrano de Pibasog protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Delfim Ferreira had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 17 minutes into the match, Nippur de Lagash 2's Silvestre Quinton broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. When Valentim Barco came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Belgrano de Pibasog fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Valentim Barco couldn't finish the play. When Valentim Barco came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Belgrano de Pibasog fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Valentim Barco couldn't finish the play. In the 24th minute of the match, Alfredo Passerini tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Jonathan De Mitri saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Alfredo Passerini received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Jonathan De Mitri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Alfredo Moreno fell near the penalty area in the 33rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Belgrano de Pibasog's protests and gave Alfredo Moreno a yellow card for diving instead. In the 33rd minute, Alfredo Moreno hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Alfredo Passerini had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 47 minutes, Lorenzo Bertran managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Nippur de Lagash 2's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lorenzo Bertran was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 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.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Benjamin De Mitri was the one to do the kick off.
