The Chilean goal came from a brilliant through ball by Arturo Vidal, a player renowned for his stints at Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Flamengo, who found Carlos Palacios unmarked in the box. The former Vasco and Inter player had time to control the ball and placed a low shot into the corner past goalkeeper Armani.

As the match neared its conclusion, both teams saw players sent off in stoppage time. Maximiliano Falcón from Colo Colo and Paulo Díaz from River received second yellow cards in the 46th minute of the second half, leaving their teams short for the return leg.

The decisive match will take place next Tuesday at the Monumental de Núñez, where a simple victory will secure qualification for either side—penalty shootouts will be required in case of any draw.
