Both sides are from the region of Mendoza and Rivadavia, the home side, were winning 2-1. Local fans were so delighted they decided to celebrate before the end of the game by setting off fireworks all around the pitch. Maipú almost equalised in the last second, but Rivadavia managed to maintain their lead and prolong the party.
