Spectators: 7207 (Terracing: 5407, Seating: 1657, VIP seats: 143) Diego Enaut started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Christian Iigo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Faustino Egun in the 4th minute of play. German Haritzeder didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alejo Endira went, in the 8th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In the 12th minute, Maximino Michael ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. German Haritzeder was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. 14 minutes into the game, Bagual AFC's Alejo Endira nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. German Haritzeder made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-3. The audience thought a goal was coming when Leonel Txerran got free with Christian Iigo in the 27th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Faustino Egun managed to get in a good position for a shot. Nottingham Miedo's supporters rose to their feet, but Faustino Egun was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Christian Iigo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A hard shot by Flavio Lando from long distance, 35 minutes into the match, got Christian Iigo's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. When Faustino Egun came up free with the goalie in the 42nd minute, the Nottingham Miedo fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Faustino Egun couldn't finish the play. Christian Iigo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Feliciano Iratze, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Faustino Egun in the 45th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Christian Iigo saved Bagual AFC from getting behind.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Faustino Egun to make the kick off. After 52 minutes of play, Nottingham Miedo's Faustino Egun made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Christian Iigo was left in no man's land by his defense there! German Haritzeder made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Maximino Michael in the 56th minute of play. Joel Medardo kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. A collision led to Bagual AFC getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Maximino Michael hit a great ball. 71 minutes into the match, Faustino Egun had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Christian Iigo. Bagual AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Faustino Egun was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-3. A collision led to Bagual AFC getting a freekick after 80 minutes play. Claudio Irrintzi hit a great ball. Epifanio Eneto's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Christian Iigo read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 81st minute of play. After 83 played minutes, Nottingham Miedo's Flavio Lando shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Christian Iigo 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 Nottingham Miedo reached it. If Faustino Egun had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Feliciano Iratze struck a weak shot in the 89th minute. Christian Iigo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Nottingham Miedo. Adrian Esquipula kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Nottingham Miedo's Flavio Lando got a free kick in the 92nd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cecilio Clis in the 94th minute of play forced Nottingham Miedo's goalkeeper German Haritzeder to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Bagual AFC were delighted with the way they had won the match. They had held their defensive line well and made the most of their chances, to claim a victory over Nottingham Miedo's much stronger midfield.
