Spectators: 7650 (Terracing: 5739, Seating: 1759, VIP seats: 152) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alejo Lizar kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in Uranga FC -OFF-'s zone, Eloy Calixto stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jacobo Txurio came out of the goal and Eloy Calixto tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Uranga FC -OFF-'s Jacobo Txurio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Victor Lizardi in the 4th minute of play. LP FC -OFF-'s Teodoro Lucian proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to save LP FC -OFF- from getting a goal against them. In the 10th minute Florentino Galsino shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Teodoro Lucian saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 11 played minutes LP FC -OFF- got a freekick which was hit by Victor Lizardi. LP FC -OFF-'s Eloy Calixto got a good chance for a goal in the 15th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The LP FC -OFF- fans' excitement grew in the 21st match minute when LP FC -OFF-'s Alfonso Constancio looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After a rather tough play, Uranga FC -OFF-'s Anastasio Leoiar got a free kick in the 25th minute. Eloy Calixto struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Jacobo Txurio didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for LP FC -OFF-. Jacobo Txurio took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fernando Berdaitz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 30 minutes into the match, Victor Lizardi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jacobo Txurio. Uranga FC -OFF-'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Victor Lizardi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Jacobo Txurio made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eloy Calixto in the 33rd minute of play. In the 38thth minute of the game Eloy Calixto who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Uranga FC -OFF-'s Jacobo Txurio was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Jacobo Txurio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eloy Calixto, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. Fernando Berdaitz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jacobo Txurio having to interfere. Domingos Porfirio was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 43 minutes into the match. The referee gave LP FC -OFF- a penalty, 45 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Gustavo Lastur, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Uranga FC -OFF-'s Jacobo Txurio. 0-3. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eloy Calixto to make the kick off. 55 minutes into the match, LP FC -OFF-'s Victor Lizardi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jacobo Txurio narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 61st minute, one of Uranga FC -OFF-:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Uranga FC -OFF-. Gustavo Lastur walked up to take care of the penalty kick. He was aiming for the top corner, but the ball went just outside the post. Victor Lizardi took the ball and in the 66 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jacobo Txurio. Jacobo Txurio dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-4. 70 minutes into the match, Uranga FC -OFF-'s goalkeeper Jacobo Txurio had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Eloy Calixto. 72 minutes into the match, Uranga FC -OFF-'s goal looked a bit too open when Victor Lizardi came free, but Jacobo Txurio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fernando Berdaitz charged in rather forcefully in the 73rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Fernando Berdaitz the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Teodoro Lucian showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Florentino Galsino, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. With a little luck, Uranga FC -OFF-'s Jacobo Txurio got control of the ball when Eloy Calixto tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 79 played minutes Uranga FC -OFF- got a freekick which was hit by Paulino Intxixu. Fernando Berdaitz hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. After 84 played minutes, Uranga FC -OFF-'s Jeremias Salbatore shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Teodoro Lucian 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 Uranga FC -OFF- reached it. After 85 played minutes Uranga FC -OFF- got a freekick which was hit by Florentino Galsino. After 87th play minutes Victor Lizardi shot 0-5, a short shot which went by Jacobo Txurio and just under the crossbar into goal. In the 92nd minute, Eloy Calixto left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The LP FC -OFF- fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-6. The Uranga FC -OFF- fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. LP FC -OFF- were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
