Spectators: 160 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Justo Mas got the match started through his kick off. After a rather tough play, Club Ibiza's Mario Kart got a free kick in the 5th minute. Ixona Ilarraza made a fantastic save in the 13th minute, when Atauri Aballe sent off a good shot on target. Pate Duro hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Club Ibiza's zone, Atauri Aballe stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ixona Ilarraza came out of the goal and Atauri Aballe tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 22 minutes into the game, Jonatan Lacerda recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Ixona Ilarraza. Jonatan Lacerda showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. Atauri Aballe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. César Menachem recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 28th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ixona Ilarraza took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ur Abellaneda, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ruy Mestas hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. In the 39th minute, Ruy Mestas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 44th minute there was a penalty for La Mandarina Mecánica. Tallia Abajas stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Ixona Ilarraza. 2-0. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Atauri Aballe to make the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 51st minute, Jonatan Lacerda managed to get in a good position for a shot. La Mandarina Mecánica's supporters rose to their feet, but Jonatan Lacerda was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ixona Ilarraza breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 53rd minute Ur Abellaneda shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ixona Ilarraza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 54 minutes into the match, Justo Mas had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jaen Abadia. La Mandarina Mecánica's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Justo Mas was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Mario Kart kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Jonatan Lacerda fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ixona Ilarraza having to interfere.

The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
