The match was evenly matched with little play. In the first half, there were almost no clear chances, and both teams showed many inaccuracies in the final meters. The difference came at the start of the second half. A mistake by Lastra when coming out to intercept a cross left the ball loose in the area, and González Metilli took advantage to score the only goal of the match.

Belgrano remained organized with good interventions by Thiago Cardozo. Without shining, Zielinski's team knew how to seize the opportunity in a tight match and secured three important points to lead their group.
