At 11 minutes, following a free kick into the area and a series of rebounds, forward Federico Aguirre took advantage of the opposing goal being unguarded due to a poor exit by goalkeeper Nelson Insfrán and headed the ball into the left corner, scoring the equalizer. At 30 minutes of the first half, defender Alexis Steimbach received on the right flank and attempted to take a low cross, which deflected off an opposing marker and ended up going in at the far post. The fourth goal of the night came at 20 minutes of the second half, with a run from winger Maximiliano Zalazar, who decided to shoot from the edge of the area, and with a deflection off a defender, put the ball into the right post of the opposing goalkeeper. The experienced midfielder Ignacio 'Nacho' Fernández extended the lead at 25 minutes, receiving a short pass from Torres inside the large area and only having to push the ball into the goal, at the far post.
