Spectators: 7761 (Terracing: 5822, Seating: 1785, VIP seats: 154) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Silverio Mangas kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, Luesia's Benjamin Mora got a free kick in the 13th minute. 17 minutes into the match, Benjamin Mora notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Palau De Plegamans AFC's Amerigo Astudillo. Amerigo Astudillo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Jem Kisiel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Ekaitz Barba was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Jem Kisiel showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 3-1 in the 24 minute of play. Ekaitz Barba showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Elias Negro in the 27th minute of the match. Jerrald Rapado kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. In the 34th minute of the match Roberto Casals sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Amerigo Astudillo skillfully saved the ball. After 37 minutes of play, Luesia's Benjamin Mora made it 3-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Amerigo Astudillo was left in no man's land by his defense there! The audience thought a goal was coming when Elias Negro got free with Ekaitz Barba in the 40th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Jem Kisiel was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 43rd minute. Palau De Plegamans AFC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 45 minutes into the game, Llope Planes cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-3. Amerigo Astudillo was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 3-3 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Llope Planes made a kick off. Elias Negro blasted a shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ekaitz Barba having to make a save. Amerigo Astudillo made a fantastic save in the 52nd minute, when Cordario Barro sent off a good shot on target. When Marcelino Santander fell near the penalty area in the 53rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Palau De Plegamans AFC's protests and gave Marcelino Santander a yellow card for diving instead. In the 58th minute Benjamin Mora shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amerigo Astudillo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ekaitz Barba came out of the goal in the 60th minute to try and stop a shot by Palau De Plegamans AFC's Silverio Mangas. But to his dismay, Silverio Mangas quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-3. In the 65th minute, Silverio Mangas ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ekaitz Barba was frozen by the shot and now it was 5-3. Ekaitz Barba made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jem Kisiel in the 68th minute of play. If Silverio Mangas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Palau De Plegamans AFC's Silverio Mangas got a good chance for a goal in the 72nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 75th minute Silverio Mangas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ekaitz Barba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 77 minutes into the match, Luesia's goal looked a bit too open when Silverio Mangas came free, but Ekaitz Barba reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 79th minute, Jem Kisiel made a precise shot to the right of Ekaitz Barba. Luesia's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 6-3. After a rather tough play, Palau De Plegamans AFC's Cortez Izquierdo got a free kick in the 82nd minute. In the 87th minute, Benjamin Mora hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
