Estadio Macha
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Florencio Aznar kicked off to start the match. After 4 played minutes, C.A. Los Hobbits's Aristides Chucho shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Modesto Ikatz came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in C.A. Los Hobbits reached it. Nunez Primeiro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Modesto Ikatz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 8th minute of the match Inocencio Jorrin sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Modesto Ikatz skillfully saved the ball. C.A. Los Hobbits's Celedonio Vimaro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Florencio Aznar in the 14th minute of play. If Ladislao Ixaka had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 17 minutes into the game, Ezequiel Huly was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Macha AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave C.A. Los Hobbits the free kick. In the 18th minute, Ezequiel Huly hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nunez Primeiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Angelino Lano took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 22nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Celedonio Vimaro. C.A. Los Hobbits's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Macha AFC's Modesto Ikatz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ladislao Ixaka in the 28th minute of play. If Ladislao Ixaka had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Modesto Ikatz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nunez Primeiro in the 35th minute of the match. 38 minutes into the match, C.A. Los Hobbits's Ladislao Ixaka sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Modesto Ikatz narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Ladislao Ixaka fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Modesto Ikatz having to interfere. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The wind increased when Nunez Primeiro made the kick off in the second half. If Florencio Aznar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute.

Marcos Idacio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Celedonio Vimaro having to interfere. When Fidel Soin fell near the penalty area in the 64th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Macha AFC's protests and gave Fidel Soin a yellow card for diving instead. After 64 played minutes Macha AFC got a freekick which was hit by Fidel Soin. Ladislao Ixaka fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Modesto Ikatz having to interfere. Celedonio Vimaro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marcos Idacio in the 78th minute of play. Marcos Idacio struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Celedonio Vimaro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Macha AFC. After a defensive mix-up in Macha AFC's zone, Ladislao Ixaka stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Modesto Ikatz came out of the goal and Ladislao Ixaka tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Marcos Idacio came up free with the goalie in the 86th minute, the Macha AFC 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 Marcos Idacio couldn't finish the play. When the referee blew the final whistle, Macha AFC could leave the field as winners, despite C.A. Los Hobbits having more of the ball for most of the match.
