A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Silvestre Orlin managed to get in a good position for a shot. SALE!!!'s supporters rose to their feet, but Silvestre Orlin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Teodosio Atarratze breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience was convinced that Arnoldo Xacintu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Esteve Gaitan was relentless in the 62nd minute of the game. Silvestre Orlin scored 0-1 in the 66th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Teodosio Atarratze, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Esteve Gaitan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in SALE!!!'s zone, Tadeo Lluques stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Esteve Gaitan came out of the goal and Tadeo Lluques tried to chip the ball over his head.

In the 89th minute, Benjamin Martxel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Otro Le Travaladna's Tadeo Lluques got a good chance for a goal in the 91st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When Arnoldo Xacintu came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the Otro Le Travaladna 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 Arnoldo Xacintu couldn't finish the play. If Arnoldo Xacintu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
