Procedures

After only two minutes, central defender Carlos Melendez was unable to clear the ball in the small area but the attentive Jonathan Roger on his return to the starting line-up managed to keep the role. It was a warning to the defender on a bad afternoon.

In 15 minutes came the controversy of the meeting. Clavin Zuniga won Carlos Melendez was fouled by the defender outside the area, but central referee Oscar Moncada imposed a penalty and decided to send off the local centre-back.

Argentine striker Lucas Campana took advantage of the gift and scored the maximum penalty kick by deceiving Roger completely in the 17th minute.
