Spectators: 7168 (Terracing: 5378, Seating: 1648, VIP seats: 142) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Venancio Furman took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 4 played minutes Ulapes got a freekick which was hit by Lindo Griego. When Toma Soda came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Ulapes 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 Toma Soda couldn't finish the play. Lindo Griego hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. Lindo Griego fired away a difficult shot at goal in the 22nd minute. He almost succeeded, but the ball went over. It was a very nice shot. David Indartsu might have been able to make a better finish in the 29th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Cai Feng Zheng. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. David Indartsu ran back to his position shaking his head. The crowd rose to their feet as Venancio Furman kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Cai Feng Zheng. That made the score 1-0 in the 29 minute of play. Lindo Griego came free in the 34th minute and tried to tip the ball over Emanuel Sarracino, but to the joy of Alberdi FC's supporters the ball went over. Don Verga recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 36th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Chico Inocente struck a weak shot in the 39th minute. Emanuel Sarracino didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ulapes. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The excitement rose when Ulapes's Lindo Griego after 52 played minutes turned away three defenders near the goal, and after that shot a ball that was too difficult for Alberdi FC's goalkeeper to hold. Score! 1-1. After a defensive mix-up in Alberdi FC's zone, Toma Soda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Emanuel Sarracino came out of the goal and Toma Soda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 63 minutes Ulapes's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Pablo Arnau who took care of the corner kick. 64 minutes into the game, Toma Soda recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Emanuel Sarracino. Toma Soda showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-2. Lindo Griego fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emanuel Sarracino having to interfere. If Toma Soda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pablo Arnau made in the 88th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by David Indartsu. After 91 minutes of play, Ulapes's Lindo Griego made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Emanuel Sarracino was left in no man's land by his defense there! Ulapes's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
