San Lorenzo de Almagro started the match with absolute dominance, Mathías de Ritis and Rodrigo Auzmendi created clear chances for the Cyclone. In the first minutes, De Ritis attempted two shots with changed profiles, the first a low left-footed shot that grazed the post and the second a shot with spin from the front of the area that closed late. The Canary team also knew how to suffer, when the first quarter of an hour arrived, the Cyclone of Boedo generated its clearest approach, the play started with Facundo Gulli, who with pure practicality received in the gestation zone, turned and immediately filtered a pass to the space for Rodrigo Auzmendi. The striker won the back of the centrals and was left one on one with Nelson Ferreira, tried to beat him with a definition between the legs, but the goalkeeper narrowed in the right moment to keep his goal at zero. However, Jorge González Frutos had the clear script for his team, which consisted of an orderly withdrawal to, once the ball was recovered, activate the transition through direct play. That's how the first warning came, after a recovery in their own field by Facundo Echeguren, he immediately launched a long pass to the space for Wilfrido Báez.

After a recovery by Wilfrido Báez, he quickly opened to the right for Allan Wlk, who immediately returned the ball to the center towards Báez, who had accompanied the action and tried to control the ball, although it ended up slipping away, his movement served as a curtain for Aldo González, who opened the inner face of his right foot to place the ball, but a slight deviation by Lautaro Montenegro made the ball go away grazing the left post of the goalkeeper of the Paraguayan national team. The complementary stage was one of pure resistance for the Canary, which practically renounced the possibility of generating danger to dedicate itself to withstanding the host's attacks. Their proposal required a generous physical deployment, movement coordination, and maximum concentration, especially in the last line, to shield the goal through collective effort. Additionally, the times the goalkeeper was called to intervene, he magnified his figure, especially in a one-on-one against Alexis Cuello, whom he narrowed down
