With an extended leg and a bit of luck Guillermo Marko prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After 21 minutes, Angel Isusko made it 1-2 with a short kick to the right side.

An unexpected shot in the 24th minute by Angel Isusko got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.

After having played for 41 minutes, Anastasio Millano managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Forros Fantásticos AC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anastasio Millano was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 42nd minute Angel Isusko shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Guillermo Marko saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

Gryffindor Lions's supporters rose to their feet, but Alvaro Cutberto was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
