Spectators: 7197 (Terracing: 5399, Seating: 1655, VIP seats: 143) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Fausto Javiero kicked off to start the match. In the 2nd minute of the match Florencio Urbasa sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Lucio Claus skillfully saved the ball. MANDIYU's Lucio Claus played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eloy Florian in the 4th minute of play. Vicente Veronica kicked well hit freekick during the 11th minute of the match. After 13 minutes MANDIYU's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Erasmo Sidro who took care of the corner kick. Juan Toli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Fausto Javiero fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Iker Artal having to interfere.

After 23 played minutes Urbano got a freekick which was hit by Apolo Herena. Anacleto Jon was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 23rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After a rather tough play, Urbano's Anibal Martinez got a free kick in the 25th minute.

After some fancy dribbling in the 52nd minute, Juan Toli managed to get in a good position for a shot. Urbano's supporters rose to their feet, but Juan Toli was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
