Universidad started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. Lineup: Velizar - Botero, Salazar - Jaimes, Jara, Velásquez, Camacho, Agüero - López, Supelano, Olarte.

Hipóxicos took the lead 12 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. R. Kukis was the scorer. Hipóxicos's J. Reyna startled A. Vasık with an unexpected pass. Unfortunately, the receiver was too stunned by the play to convert the perfect setup into a goal. After 23 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed T. Liberman to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. The home crowd was not impressed when R. Kukis came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 26 minutes. Hipóxicos were now up 0 - 3. Hipóxicos increased their lead after 34 minutes when E. Paglia broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. By now, the players in Hipóxicos felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. Hipóxicos had most of the ball, with 73 percent of possession.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Universidad's G. Jara was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. A. Cepeda was given a chance to change things around. The Universidad captaincy was handed to I. Botero. The bench was restless, and with 64 minutes passed Universidad's coach gave A. Chávez the opportunity the player had been hoping for. F. Supelano reluctantly left the field. Hipóxicos came close to extending their lead as R. Kukis delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 73 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. Universidad needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 76 minutes H. López made way for M. Hilarión. T. Liberman increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Hipóxicos, who controlled the ball 66 percent of the time.

Most important Universidad player was H. Agüero. However, H. Salazar made a disastrous appearance. Hipóxicos's top performer was clearly J. Sánchez. F. Fantoni on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 5.
