Petrigai Rios stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Rafel Sambrano's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. When Zuhaitz Zubicoeta came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Novillos 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 Zuhaitz Zubicoeta couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Balendin Balbanea managed to get in a good position for a shot. Novillos FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Balendin Balbanea was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
