Spectators: 6636 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1636, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lynkeus Kotsiopoulos took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Albarellos's zone, Filiberto Gartzi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leo Mendiko came out of the goal and Filiberto Gartzi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Lynkeus Kotsiopoulos came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Ramones FC 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 Lynkeus Kotsiopoulos couldn't finish the play. Lynkeus Kotsiopoulos's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Leo Mendiko read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 20th minute of play. After having played for 21 minutes, Raul Pacho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ramones FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Raul Pacho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 22 minutes into the match, Ramones FC's Cauan Mineiro sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Leo Mendiko narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Ramones FC's Silvestre Bonadona proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 26th minute of the match, managed to save Ramones FC from getting a goal against them. Silvestre Bonadona made a fantastic save in the 27th minute, when Atilano Abastas sent off a good shot on target. In the 30thth minute of the game Raul Pacho who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Albarellos's Leo Mendiko was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as Albarellos's Santiago Urko slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Silvestre Bonadona. That made the score 1-1 after 33 minutes of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Godofredo Aresti got free with Silvestre Bonadona in the 45th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

In the 53rd match minute, Ramones FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marciano Vidal to maneuver through the defense. Leo Mendiko took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Raul Pacho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alonzo Donio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leo Mendiko having to interfere. Raul Pacho struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Leo Mendiko didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ramones FC. The supporters of Albarellos booed when Ramones FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marciano Vidal didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Lynkeus Kotsiopoulos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 97 played minutes, Albarellos's Segundo Lorencio shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Silvestre Bonadona 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 Albarellos reached it. Ramones FC were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
