The first clear chance was for the local team, when, in the minute 27, Asad could not shot a cross from the left; in the counter attack, after a quick advance, Saviola faced Aguerre, but the goalkeeper won the duel. Towards the end of the first half, a great save by Chiariniafter a header of Amor made that the teams ended the first half 0-0.
River was more aggressive in the second half and it had good chances to break the zero: in the minute 8, a good left shot by Casco at the edge of the area hit the right post; in the minute 24,Saviola, after a good counterattack with Martínez, received the ball and, almost without opposition, shot the ball, but this time it was the left post that prevented the goal. Vélez, meanwhile, looked to disturb River with the speed of its forwards, but it found strong responses by Chiarini.
It seemed that the game was going to finish with a tie, but River had one more card: in the minute 37, Lucas Alario, who had joined the team in the second half, received in the center of the area a rejection of the goalkeeper after a cross from Martinez and, with a precise touch, put the match 1-0, establishing the victory ofel Millonario.
