According to the Argentine News Agency, both teams grew in the second half, created dangerous chances, but failed to open the score and shared points in La Paternal.

In the 7th minute of the second half, Erik Godoy stretched to connect a cross from the right, but the shot went just over the crossbar. In the second half, the team led by Nicolás Diez grew considerably and came close to taking the lead. Diego Porcel had scored 1-0, but the action was ruled out for offside by the forward himself. Later, Lautaro Giaccone appeared unmarked on the left side of the opponent's area and connected a cross from Leandro Lozano on the right, but failed to shoot accurately and the ball went wide. Nevertheless, the scoreboard did not change and both teams shared points in La Paternal.
