Before three minutes, Newell’s had a very clear chance of scoring after a shot from the left by Mariano Bittolo that he couldn’t comfortably capitalize on the far post Juan Garro.
Banfield responded at 26 minutes after a Agustín Urzi’s free kick. The ball ended up being left to Alexis Sosa down the goal but could not define comfortably and the ball went over the crossbar.
About 37 minutes the fair Rodriguez came face to face with goalkeeper Facundo Cambeses but he could not define clearly and wasted a good opportunity to open the scoring.
In the last of the first act Maxi had an unbeatable chance with a free kick from an interesting place but Cambeses covered the shot.
