With this visual discomfort, a clash was played between teams with different objectives.

After 20 minutes, Jara himself was facing the Unión goalkeeper, who rudely took him down and gave him a penalty.. The same scorer executed a cross and made it 2-0. The replacement for the scorer Passerini did his job perfectly and those from Córdoba settled in very well in the game. The people of Unión were desperate, but the atmosphere calmed down because the discount came quickly. Three minutes later, on a counterattack, Bruno Pittón scored a great left-footed goal and made it 2-1 with which the PT would end.

Chicco saved Belgrano
