Spectators: 7046 (Terracing: 5393, Seating: 1653, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Uriel Estefan took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience was convinced that Arsenio Bixintxo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lázaro Ciano was relentless in the 2nd minute of the game. Agustin Naldo thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Vicente Iratzeder, a very annoying self made goal in the 14th minute which led to 0-1. After a rather tough play, Bragado For Ever's Fausto Muc got a free kick in the 16th minute. After 22 played minutes Curitas FC got a freekick which was hit by Matias Fernandez. Serafin Gitano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lázaro Ciano having to interfere. In the 31st minute, Serafin Gitano 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. Curitas FC's Vicente Iratzeder played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Edgard Guzman in the 35th minute of play. A collision led to Bragado For Ever getting a freekick after 37 minutes play. Gregorio Calixto hit a great ball. In the 40th minute of the match Curitas FC got a corner. Bragado For Ever's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Benito Rioja ran over to the corner to take the kick. If Serafin Gitano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half Bragado For Ever were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

In the 52nd minute, Agustin Naldo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 56th minute, Bragado For Ever's Uriel Estefan dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-2. Serafin Gitano received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Lázaro Ciano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Anastasio Paublo hit a great freekick 70 minutes into the match.

A collision led to Bragado For Ever getting a freekick after 75 minutes play. Gregorio Calixto hit a great ball. Serafin Gitano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lázaro Ciano having to interfere.

Serafin Gitano struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Lázaro Ciano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Curitas FC. Arsenio Bixintxo took the ball and in the 87 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Lázaro Ciano. Lázaro Ciano dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2.
