Belgrano were clear favourites for this match and the team made sure to back the pre-match odds. Although it wasn't always easy for Belgrano, they ended up controlling the match and the winning margin could have been larger. But the first half started with the CAI keeping Belgrano at bay by using a solid and intelligent display. The Belgrano wingers, Manzanelli and Garcia, were totally ineffectual and so Belgrano couldn't create any chances. And while the CAI didn't create any chances either, they seemed happy with the draw. Nearing the end of the half, the in-form Matias Gigli got himself in the scoresheet after stealing the ball from his opponent and sending the ball into the net. Suddenly, Belgrano were leading at halftime but they put on a poor display. After some brainwashing by Ferraro, the team went out decided to kill the match off. With the
more active Manzanelli and Garcia, Belgrano started to create chance after chance
while the CAI tried to launch the odd counterattack. It didn't take long for the
second goal to arrive. Martinez headed the ball into the net after a good cross. It
was 2-0. and game over. In the dying minutes, Hechalar, one of Belgrano's promising youngsters- put the icing on the cake with a fine header of his own.
By this time, the fans were already celebrating another home victory. Belgrano
was again top of the table.
