Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Nando Somoano made the kick off which started today's match. Palacios Sereno took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 6th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Manuel Escobedo. Celica SC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nando Somoano in the 9th minute of play forced CD Otoncito's goalkeeper Murillo Granero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Manuel Escobedo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zxavian Bodega in the 15th minute of play. Isaac Forcat sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 30thth minute of the game Zamora Casanande who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Celica SC's Manuel Escobedo was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Zxavian Bodega recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 35th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Isaac Forcat could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 39th minute of the match, but Murillo Granero made a huge save. The audience thought a goal was coming when Díaz Argos got free with Murillo Granero in the 41st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. CD Otoncito's Zxavian Bodega got a good chance for a goal in the 45th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Victoriano Joseph during the 48th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Celica SC booed when CD Otoncito was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 48 match minutes in a wonderful position. Victoriano Joseph didn't get a good kick on the ball. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Manuel Escobedo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zamora Casanande, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Zxavian Bodega recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 68 minutes into the match, Zamora Casanande had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Manuel Escobedo. Celica SC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zamora Casanande was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 75 minutes into the match, Nando Somoano notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of CD Otoncito's Murillo Granero. Murillo Granero was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Murillo Granero made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Isaac Forcat in the 78th minute of play. Isaac Forcat fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Murillo Granero having to interfere. Zxavian Bodega fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Manuel Escobedo having to interfere. Zxavian Bodega received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Manuel Escobedo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 92nd minute Zamora Casanande shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Manuel Escobedo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
