Estadio Mojigasta
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Eustacio Manuelo kicked off to start the match. Tambillos's Anacleto Mergildo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pastor Alvarez in the 2nd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pastor Alvarez in the 4th minute of play forced Tambillos's goalkeeper Anacleto Mergildo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Thanks to some nice moves Cleto Orlondon could shoot a difficult shot in the 5th minute, which Anacleto Mergildo however easily saved by the left post. Arnaldo Txartiko hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. Anacleto Mergildo made a fantastic save in the 15th minute, when Cleto Orlondon sent off a good shot on target. In the 21st minute, Cornelio Maule hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Teobaldo Cheche came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Tambillos 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 Teobaldo Cheche couldn't finish the play. Fidel Eusko lost his temper 24 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. After 24 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Mojigasta! 28 minutes into the match, Mojigasta's goal looked a bit too open when Eustacio Manuelo came free, but Niceto Raymundo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cornelio Maule succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-1 in the 30th playminute. Cleto Orlondon's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Anacleto Mergildo firmly grabbed it by the left post. Cleto Orlondon who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 36thth minute tested the skills of Anacleto Mergildo when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Anacleto Mergildo made a fantastic save in the 41st minute, when Cleto Orlondon sent off a good shot on target.

In the 43rd minute, Valentin Columbo got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Anacleto Mergildo made a fantastic save in the 45th minute, when Narciso Benat sent off a good shot on target. After 46 minutes of play Tambillos's Prudencio Weather was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. The supporters of Mojigasta booed when Tambillos was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 47 match minutes in a wonderful position. Prudencio Weather didn't get a good kick on the ball. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

If Elvio Urtungo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 53 minutes into the match, Eustacio Manuelo dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Niceto Raymundo, 1-2. Dante Eufemio struck a weak shot in the 58th minute. Niceto Raymundo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tambillos. In the 69th minute, Cleto Orlondon ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Anacleto Mergildo was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. Elvio Urtungo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Niceto Raymundo having to interfere.
