Spectators: 145 (Terracing: 110, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Javier Luar made the kick off which started today's match. Javier Luar kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. In the 9th minute, Cosme Ayala left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The NUMBA fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Lucio Hernandez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cosme Ayala in the 17th minute of play. In the 20th minute, Adolfo Valentine hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Javier Luar struck a weak shot in the 27th minute. Juan Perrando didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Nina fc. Lucio Hernandez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cosme Ayala, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 38 minutes, Arturo Ariando managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Nina fc's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arturo Ariando was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. NUMBA's Juan Perrando played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Javier Luar in the 44th minute of play. Juan Perrando showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Javier Luar in the 46th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Donato Gaztea to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute, Rafael Bela fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Lucio Hernandez, passed just outside the right post. In the 57th minute, Javier Luar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Adolfo Valentine had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 65 minutes into the game, NUMBA's Rafael Bela nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Lucio Hernandez made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. Nina fc's Adolfo Valentine got a good chance for a goal in the 70th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. A collision led to NUMBA getting a freekick after 71 minutes play. Arnaldo Txurio hit a great ball. When Adolfo Valentine came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the Nina 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 Adolfo Valentine couldn't finish the play. The supporters of NUMBA booed when Nina fc was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 84 match minutes in a wonderful position. Angelo Ignado didn't get a good kick on the ball. Lucio Hernandez didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Donato Gaztea went, in the 86th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Donato Gaztea in the 90th minute of play forced Nina fc's goalkeeper Lucio Hernandez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cosme Ayala sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Adolfo Valentine fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Juan Perrando having to interfere. NUMBA played a much better game than Nina fc and deserved their victory. The Nina fc players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
