Baraquiel Navarro took the ball and in the 7 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Joan Zapatero. Joan Zapatero dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 13 minutes into the game, Fabrice Hunkeler cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2.

Real Loira's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Sturle Sommerstad was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. A throw-in in the 28th minute of the game was made by Sofronio Climent with Nicodemo Quintanilla as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. 34 minutes into the match, Real Loira's goal looked a bit too open when Sturle Sommerstad came free, but Joan Zapatero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 35 minutes into the game, Sturle Sommerstad cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-4.
