Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Ariel Peyo got the match started through his kick off. Severo Iago hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. Pascual Theobald recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 15th minute of the game, Fermin Domingues landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field. When Pascual Theobald fell near the penalty area in the 15th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Reyes's protests and gave Pascual Theobald a yellow card for diving instead. In the 16th match minute, Reyes was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Pascual Theobald to maneuver through the defense. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Pascual Theobald in the 20th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Cornelio Eneko saved Suardi from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sixto Gutxi in the 26th minute of play forced Suardi's goalkeeper Cornelio Eneko to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 28th minute Pascual Theobald shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cornelio Eneko saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Sixto Gutxi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mariano Herensuge made a fantastic save in the 33rd minute, when Urbano Lizar sent off a good shot on target. After a rather tough play, Suardi's Bernardo Gora got a free kick in the 40th minute. The Suardi players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Reyes were winning 0-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Sixto Gutxi made a kick off. In the 51st minute, Urbano Lizar 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. Suardi's Cornelio Eneko proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 53rd minute of the match, managed to save Suardi from getting a goal against them. Pascual Theobald received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Cornelio Eneko tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 58 minutes into the match, Urbano Lizar notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Reyes's Mariano Herensuge. Mariano Herensuge was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Urbano Lizar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mariano Herensuge having to interfere. Pascual Theobald fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cornelio Eneko having to interfere.

Gogo Pinto helped the player get up and apologised. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Eustaquio Harkaitz during the 70th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 70th match minute, Suardi was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eustaquio Harkaitz to maneuver through the defense. With a little luck, Suardi's Cornelio Eneko got control of the ball when Pascual Theobald tried to sneak it across the goal line. Sixto Gutxi might have been able to make a better finish in the 74th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Cornelio Eneko. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Sixto Gutxi ran back to his position shaking his head. Pascual Theobald who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 76thth minute tested the skills of Cornelio Eneko when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The audience was convinced that Urbano Lizar's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mariano Herensuge was relentless in the 80th minute of the game. Cornelio Eneko was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Sixto Gutxi showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-2 in the 84 minute of play. After a rather tough play, Reyes's Pascual Theobald got a free kick in the 87th minute. Suardi's Cornelio Eneko proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 96th minute of the match, managed to save Suardi from getting a goal against them. When the match was over Reyes could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Suardi throughout the match.
