Only in the final stretch was Independiente able to break Atletico Tucumanwho played the same, until they were outnumbered and practically gave up any offensive attempt in the last half hour.

From there, the red team continued to search, with the push of Geronimo Poblete and the offensive weight of Leandro Benegas Y Fernandez, always dangerous for the rival defense.
Nevertheless, Atletico Tucuman disturbed when he was able to leave, with a left foot Joaquin Pereyrawhich went close, but once again Independiente took control of the match, although it lacked depth, and only threatened with a set piece.
About the epilogue of the first part, Master Puch had the clearest for the Tucuman cast, he went only to the left, but the Uruguayan Sebastian Sosa He began to build a great performance, and covered the auction.
