In the 10th match minute, Talleres was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Raimundo Barrionuevo to maneuver through the defense. In the 13th minute, Patrik Beaton ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Albino Nofre was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. In the 16th minute, Severiano Obano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Luciano Gipuzkoa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Franco Armani was relentless in the 17th minute of the game. After having played for 19 minutes, Luciano Gipuzkoa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Talleres's supporters crossed their fingers, but Luciano Gipuzkoa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Patrik Beaton took the ball and in the 20 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Albino Nofre. Albino Nofre dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-3. In the 25th minute Talleres were awarded a corner. Ariel Burko went to the cornerflag to take it. Ariel Burko made a great header on Talleres's corner, it was just that Cuervo Loco FC's Franco Armani managed to reach the ball for a save. 27 minutes into the game, Ariel Burko recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Franco Armani. Ariel Burko showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-3. Franco Armani made a fantastic save in the 31st minute, when Ariel Burko sent off a good shot on target. Through an outstanding action, after 34 minutes, Franco Armani successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. After 38 played minutes Cuervo Loco FC got a freekick which was hit by Patrik Beaton. Ariel Burko was extremely unlucky when he, in the 43rd minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Severiano Obano's late challenge caught a Talleres's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Severiano Obano helped the player get up and apologised. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-3.

54 minutes into the match, Rafael Rik dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Albino Nofre, 1-4. An unexpectedly hard shot by Patrik Beaton in the 62nd minute of play forced Talleres's goalkeeper Albino Nofre to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Talleres's Fernan Garoa got a free kick in the 62nd minute. 65 minutes into the match, Cuervo Loco FC's goal looked a bit too open when Mateo Marino came free, but Franco Armani reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Luciano Gipuzkoa struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Franco Armani didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Talleres. Alejo Jerardo hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. Albino Nofre stood somewhat misplaced when Patrik Beaton came free in front of goal and shot 1-5 to the left of him in the 80 minute. After a defensive mix-up in Cuervo Loco FC's zone, Mateo Marino stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Franco Armani came out of the goal and Mateo Marino tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Vladimiro Lop hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Ariel Burko was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 89th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 90 minutes into the game, Natalio Loiola was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Cuervo Loco FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Talleres the free kick. 98 minutes into the match, Cuervo Loco FC's goal looked a bit too open when Mateo Marino came free, but Franco Armani reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
