Germinal were 1-0 up against Alvarado when their Federal A Zone 4 match at El Fortín in the Chubut capital was halted late on after pyrotechnics landed on the pitch.

According to SuperDepor.com, referee Fernando Marcos stopped the game and it did not restart.

Andrés Iglesias's side had gone ahead on 15 minutes through Gerónimo Núñez, the forward now operating in midfield, who headed in a Jorge Velázquez free-kick.

Fifteen minutes into the second half the visitors were reduced to 10 men when Tomás Fernández was sent off. Despite the advantage, Germinal withstood Alvarado's push, with Molini assured in goal.
