After having played for 31 minutes, Alfronso Alacuart managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Etxeberri Erosa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luis Folch having to interfere.

After 52 played minutes Xeresa SD got a freekick which was hit by Pedro Freire. Etxeberri Erosa's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Luis Folch read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play.

Andoni Teruel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The referee ignored Xeresa SD's protests and gave Tano Villa a yellow card for diving instead. Tano Villa hit a great freekick 72 minutes into the match. In the 76th minute Andoni Teruel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Magdaleno Silva saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
