Spectators: 6655 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1655, VIP seats: 0) Ataliva's Robustiano Egoitz started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. A hard shot by Emilio Bernabel from long distance, 4 minutes into the match, got Genaro Lorenz's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Marcelino Austin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Victoriano Rumaldo in the 7th minute of play. Marcelino Austin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Victoriano Rumaldo in the 10th minute of the match. Artemio Mazuste sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Claudio Curcio's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Marcelino Austin was relentless in the 18th minute of the game. Robustiano Egoitz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Genaro Lorenz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Geronimo Rey struck a weak shot in the 24th minute. Genaro Lorenz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ataliva. After 33 minutes of play, C.S.D. Juventud Unida's Victoriano Rumaldo made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Marcelino Austin was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 36th minute the ball was on its way in behind C.S.D. Juventud Unida's goalkeeper Genaro Lorenz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a little luck, C.S.D. Juventud Unida's Genaro Lorenz got control of the ball when Geronimo Rey tried to sneak it across the goal line. Genaro Lorenz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Robustiano Egoitz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ataliva's Geronimo Rey got a good chance for a goal in the 44th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Victoriano Rumaldo to make the kick off. When the match had gone on for 69 minutes, Victoriano Rumaldo took a quick shot and it went in 0-2 without a chance for Marcelino Austin to make any attempt to save it. Geronimo Rey sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Geronimo Rey struck a weak shot in the 83rd minute. Genaro Lorenz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ataliva. 85 minutes into the match, Geronimo Rey notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of C.S.D. Juventud Unida's Genaro Lorenz. Genaro Lorenz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Narciso Quirze had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Genaro Lorenz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Robustiano Egoitz, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute.
