In the 35th minute Diómedes Rodriguez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Navarro Nuño saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Diómedes Rodriguez, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 35 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal.

The wind increased when Gaskon Comas made the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the match, Diómedes Rodriguez had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Navarro Nuño. Fohat Neyen's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Diómedes Rodriguez was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Tiburcio Dicastillo hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match. Navarro Nuño made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Calito Garcia in the 57th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Xoan Vesga managed to get in a good position for a shot. Fohat Neyen's supporters rose to their feet, but Xoan Vesga was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Raul Brandao breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Raul Brandao showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gaskon Comas, who was totally free with the ball in the 69th minute.

Braulio Mazorra scored 1-3 in the 77th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Raul Brandao, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Diómedes Rodriguez in the 81st minute of play forced Fohat Neyen's goalkeeper Navarro Nuño to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gaskon Comas might have been able to make a better finish in the 91st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Raul Brandao. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Gaskon Comas ran back to his position shaking his head. ►Las Mercedes F.C◄'s Raul Brandao played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gaskon Comas in the 94th minute of play. When the referee blew the final whistle jeers and boos were heard from the home team's supporters. They were angered to see Fohat Neyen lose a match they had controlled from the kick-off.
