The first 40 minutes were intense and highly contested, with no clear dominator throughout the entire first half, although the Cardinal played more time in rival territory but lacked the necessary effectiveness in the final meters. As the minutes passed, the heat took center stage, so the intensity of the start dissipated.

Despite this, the team that struck first was the team from Mendoza. Only two minutes had passed when the centers, Julian Hernandez and Alejo Videlacombined in speed to leave the border defense without response, being Hernandez the one in charge of finishing the first big collective maneuver of the afternoon.

This unexpected blow quickly woke up the hosts, who slowly began to impose conditions.

His power and speed was the favorite weapon of the locals, which ended up paying off in the 22nd minute, when the winger was able to accumulate a good number of marks, which only managed to stop him a few meters from his goal. There the scrum half appeared on the scene Lucas Marguery who observed a pronounced gap in the defense to enter the goal and equalize the score.

This clean and jerk was fully taken advantage of by the local team, who completely tilted the field, consolidating their moment with a penalty try that gave them a favorable score of 24 to 15 when there were 20 minutes left until the final whistle.

The theme did not change in the decisive minutes, since Newman accentuated his dominance even more, taking advantage of the fatigue of the visit, after playing with two less due to warnings from Fernandez and Proncewhich were key for the Cardinal to completely take over the final.
