Galbarra Estadio
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nicolao Griego started the match with the kick off. Galbarra's Quentin Puig played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nicolao Griego in the 3rd minute of play. Arbo's Eguzki Canal proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 5th minute of the match, managed to save Arbo from getting a goal against them. Fresco Navarro scored 0-1 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Quentin Puig, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 24 minutes, Roi De Toro mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Galbarra and the Arbo players grew even worse after the yellow card. The referee gave Arbo a penalty, 25 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Clemente Urquijo, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Galbarra's Quentin Puig. 0-2. In the 31st minute of the match Galbarra got a corner. Arbo's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Lauren Cuervas ran over to the corner to take the kick. Aberri Camara sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

If Fresco Navarro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

Galbarra's Aberri Camara got a good chance for a goal in the 56th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When Nicolao Griego came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the Arbo fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Nicolao Griego couldn't finish the play. Quentin Puig made an important save on a dangerous shot by Fresco Navarro in the 72nd minute. Fresco Navarro's late challenge caught a Galbarra's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
