Spectators: 7687 (Terracing: 5766, Seating: 1768, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ismael Ur kicked off to start the match. The supporters of Palermo AFC booed when club atletico aldosivi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Emanuel Colon didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 3rd match minute, Palermo AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Florentino Vermudo to maneuver through the defense. 5 minutes in the game, Gaudencio Tiadoro fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Israel Betadur having to interfere. Gianluigi Martinez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mauricio Ur in the 7th minute of play. After having played for 9 minutes, Godofredo Gabon managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Palermo AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Godofredo Gabon was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 12th minute, Octavio Frascuelo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Israel Betadur showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gaudencio Tiadoro, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Emanuel Colon kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Israel Betadur. That made the score 1-0 in the 21 minute of play. Gianluigi Martinez came out of the goal in the 24th minute to try and stop a shot by Palermo AFC's Godofredo Gabon. But to his dismay, Godofredo Gabon quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After a rather tough play, club atletico aldosivi's Mariano Montrel got a free kick in the 31st minute. Gianluigi Martinez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ismael Ur, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Marciano Lope hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. If Vladimiro Aguirre had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 43rd minute Ismael Ur shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gianluigi Martinez saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Palermo AFC's zone, Gaudencio Tiadoro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Israel Betadur came out of the goal and Gaudencio Tiadoro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Emanuel Colon made a kick off. Israel Odilon hit a great freekick 58 minutes into the match. If Emanuel Colon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gianluigi Martinez made an important save on a dangerous shot by Vladimiro Aguirre in the 64th minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Ismael Ur kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Gianluigi Martinez. That made the score 1-2 in the 68 minute of play. When the match had gone on for 78 minutes, Vladimiro Aguirre put it in 1-3 from a short distance just to the right of Gianluigi Martinez. After 83 minutes of play, Palermo AFC's Vladimiro Aguirre made it 1-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Gianluigi Martinez was left in no man's land by his defense there! 93 minutes into the match, club atletico aldosivi's goalkeeper Gianluigi Martinez had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ismael Ur. Ismael Ur struck a weak shot in the 98th minute. Gianluigi Martinez didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Palermo AFC.
