Spectators: 7524 (Terracing: 5644, Seating: 1730, VIP seats: 150) Aurelio Aznar started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. The audience thought a goal was coming when Urbano Chago got free with Baldomero Frantzes in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Israel Reno had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nicolas Bermudez scored 1-0 in the 10th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Baldomero Frantzes, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 18 minutes into the match, MARTINETA's goal looked a bit too open when Alejandro Ubelteso came free, but Feliciano Laurin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Aurelio Aznar came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Poker de Ases ⚜️ 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 Aurelio Aznar couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aurelio Aznar in the 26th minute of play forced MARTINETA's goalkeeper Feliciano Laurin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 29th minute Alejandro Ubelteso shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Feliciano Laurin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 33 minutes into the match, MARTINETA's goal looked a bit too open when Aurelio Aznar came free, but Feliciano Laurin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, MARTINETA's Natalio Urbasa got a free kick in the 39th minute. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Nicolas Bermudez stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If Nicolas Bermudez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Baldomero Frantzes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Urbano Chago in the 61st minute of play. Nicolas Bermudez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Baldomero Frantzes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 67 minutes, Israel Reno mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the MARTINETA and the Poker de Ases ⚜️ players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Poker de Ases ⚜️ booed when MARTINETA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Israel Reno didn't get a good kick on the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as Poker de Ases ⚜️'s Cipriano Celino slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Feliciano Laurin. That made the score 1-1 after 73 minutes of play. If Urbano Chago had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nicolas Bermudez kicked well hit freekick during the 85th minute of the match. Filomeno Lorenz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Baldomero Frantzes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 94th minute Nicolas Bermudez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Baldomero Frantzes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 96 minutes had been played when some careless play by Poker de Ases ⚜️'s defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Niceto Izel was slow to take the kick. During this time MARTINETA's players had a chance to rest. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Poker de Ases ⚜️'s goalie and right to Urbano Chago. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Poker de Ases ⚜️'s manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. The Poker de Ases ⚜️ players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented MARTINETA from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
