Castellar De La Muel
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Kaiet Orbiz started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Atilio Bermejo notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Castellar De La Muela SD's Andrea Nadal. Andrea Nadal was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Kaiet Orbiz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Domenico Arribas having to interfere. Andrea Nadal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Atilio Bermejo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Castellar De La Muela SD booed when La Mediana SD was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eusebio Pastor didn't get a good kick on the ball.
