Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000,
Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) A collision led to Pontaut getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Amadeo Araoz hit a great ball. In the 8th minute, Arsenio Francho got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Igor Maura took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arsenio Francho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Igor Maura showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arsenio Francho in the 19th minute of the match. 21 minutes into the match, Calera's goal looked a bit too open when Angelo Distiratsu came free, but Geronimo Aresti reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Abel Paul had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Abel Paul took the ball and in the 26 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Igor Maura. Igor Maura dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Arsenio Francho struck a weak shot in the 39th minute. Igor Maura didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Calera. Bernardino Arias could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 46th minute of the match, but Geronimo Aresti made a huge save. When Arsenio Francho came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the Calera 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 Arsenio Francho couldn't finish the play. The Pontaut players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Calera were winning 0-1.
The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Abel Paul to strike the kick off in the second half. Igor Maura was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 52nd minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Herminio Manni. Geronimo Aresti came out of the goal in the 53rd minute to try and stop a shot by Pontaut's Bernardino Arias. But to his dismay, Bernardino Arias quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. 59 minutes into the match, Pontaut's goalkeeper Igor Maura had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abel Paul. Geronimo Aresti made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Angelo Distiratsu in the 69th minute of play. When Arsenio Francho fell near the penalty area in the 74th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Calera's protests and gave Arsenio Francho a yellow card for diving instead. After 74 played minutes Calera got a freekick which was hit by Arsenio Francho. Arsenio Francho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Igor Maura tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, Pontaut's Igor Maura got control of the ball when Abel Paul tried to sneak it across the goal line. Pontaut were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
