Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Aurelio Pero kicked off to start the match. In the 4th minute, Constantino Bemabe made a precise shot to the right of Conrado Martxot. Manantiales Fc's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. In the 7th minute, Flavio Lop hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Conrado Martxot took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ramón Abila, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 12 minutes into the match, Alijilán returns's goal looked a bit too open when Flavio Arias came free, but Lino Naelio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lino Naelio made an important save on a dangerous shot by Fulgencio Rivas in the 13th minute. After 15 minutes Alijilán returns's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Denis Dolfos who took care of the corner kick. With an all-out effort, Manantiales Fc's Lino Naelio threw himself towards the right post 16 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Flavio Arias, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After 17 played minutes Alijilán returns got a freekick which was hit by Jimeno Salvidor. Angel Paez hit a great freekick 18 minutes into the match. Denis Dolfos was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 19th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The corner led Manantiales Fc's Denis Dolfos to fire away a dangerous shot which Lino Naelio despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. 30 minutes into the game, Ramón Abila was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alijilán returns's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Manantiales Fc the free kick.

In the 33rdth minute of the game Flavio Arias who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Alijilán returns's Lino Naelio was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, Gustavo Bide managed to get in a good position for a shot. Alijilán returns's supporters rose to their feet, but Gustavo Bide was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Conrado Martxot breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 38 minutes into the match, Manantiales Fc's goal looked a bit too open when Gustavo Bide came free, but Conrado Martxot reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Ramón Abila had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Manantiales Fc's Froilan Estebano got a free kick in the 41st minute. Ramón Abila struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Conrado Martxot didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Alijilán returns.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Silvano Baleren was the one to do the kick off. Ramón Abila might have been able to make a better finish in the 51st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Conrado Martxot. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ramón Abila ran back to his position shaking his head. Alijilán returns's Ramón Abila was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 53rd play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. Silvano Baleren recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 56th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

In the 67th minute, Constantino Bemabe hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Conrado Martxot was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 85 minutes, Silvano Gauargi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Manantiales Fc and the Alijilán returns players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 85 played minutes Manantiales Fc got a freekick which was hit by Silvano Gauargi. With a little luck, Manantiales Fc's Conrado Martxot got control of the ball when Silvano Baleren tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ramón Abila received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 95th minute. Conrado Martxot tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The Alijilán returns players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
