Forward Leandro Díaz recovered a ball at the edge of the area and sought a pass to the left; however, the ball ended up reaching the right winger Carlos Auzqui. At 39 minutes, after a corner, defender Gianluca Ferrari sent the ball back into the area, where "Loco" Díaz received it but failed to score despite having time.
On a free kick near the area, midfielder Maher Carrizo took advantage of having only one player in the opponent's wall and with a low shot scored at the near post of the goalkeeper. The last clear opportunity was for the home team, where a shot from the defender was deflected by a teammate, leaving the goalkeeper without an option and allowing Romero to push it into the goal.
The conclusion had "Fortín" dominating the scoreboard in the 22nd minute of the second half when attacker "Loco" Díaz received a pass and shot strongly to the far post for the 1-0. Atlético Tucumán equalized six minutes later with a play between Porcel and Gómez.
