In the 40th minute Santos Rajoi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lino Encina saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Fredo Mudarra fell near the penalty area in the 44th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ermua's protests and gave Fredo Mudarra a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Ermua's Fredo Mudarra got a free kick in the 45th minute. Fructuoso Saez took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 46th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Lino Encina. Ermua's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After 47 played minutes Gaditanos C.F. got a freekick which was hit by Illan Solera.

A very good chance for a goal. 84 minutes into the match, Ermua's Anko Gil sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Goi Espinosa narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Santos Rajoi's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Lino Encina firmly grabbed it by the left post.
