Estadio Rojas
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Michael Blanquel took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Nag SC's Salvador Villaño in the 3rd minute got a chance for a shot 3rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Rojas's goalie prevented a goal.

After 10 played minutes Rojas got a freekick which was hit by Xuban Liebana. After 11 minutes, Yago Bernaldo made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side.

The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-2.

Vinicio Zubeldia ran back to his position shaking his head. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Michael Blanquel in the 61st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Zayveon Reboiras saved Nag SC from getting behind. After 63 minutes, Salvador Villaño mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Nag SC and the Rojas players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 63rd minute, Salvador Villaño hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
