Spectators: 7760 (Terracing: 5821, Seating: 1785, VIP seats: 154) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Deunoro Cabalar made the kick off which started today's match. In the 8th minute, Deunoro Cabalar made a precise shot to the right of Zacarias Sana. Sabaneta FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 20th minute, Oro Velo managed to get in a good position for a shot. MetalGarurumon F.C's supporters rose to their feet, but Oro Velo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Zacarias Sana breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 27 minutes, Guillerme Pamo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the MetalGarurumon F.C and the Sabaneta FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 27 played minutes MetalGarurumon F.C got a freekick which was hit by Guillerme Pamo. Nelio Gonzalez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zacarias Sana having to interfere. The supporters of Sabaneta FC booed when MetalGarurumon F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Oro Velo didn't get a good kick on the ball. 37 minutes into the match, MetalGarurumon F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Indalecio Larramendi came free, but Xavian Portas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Xavian Portas didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Indalecio Larramendi went, in the 37th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nelio Gonzalez in the 43rd minute of play forced Sabaneta FC's goalkeeper Zacarias Sana to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The wind increased when Clemente Ruy made the kick off in the second half. When the match had gone on for 53 minutes, Lesardo Gaztañondo took a quick shot and it went in 1-2 without a chance for Xavian Portas to make any attempt to save it. In the 65thth minute of the game Lizer Bettencourt who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Sabaneta FC's Zacarias Sana was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Zacarias Sana made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Deunoro Cabalar in the 68th minute of play. MetalGarurumon F.C's Xavian Portas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Clemente Ruy in the 72nd minute of play. In the 75th minute Indalecio Larramendi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Xavian Portas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With an all-out effort, Sabaneta FC's Xavian Portas threw himself towards the right post 76 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Clemente Ruy, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 78 minutes into the match, Deunoro Cabalar had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Zacarias Sana. Sabaneta FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Deunoro Cabalar was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. Zacarias Sana took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Deunoro Cabalar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Sidro Piciña kicked well hit freekick during the 82nd minute of the match. When Enetz Beitia came up free with the goalie in the 83rd minute, the MetalGarurumon F.C 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 Enetz Beitia couldn't finish the play. Lico Zurita's late challenge caught a Sabaneta FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Lico Zurita helped the player get up and apologised. After having played for 86 minutes, Clemente Ruy managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sabaneta FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Clemente Ruy was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Sabaneta FC getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Camilo Serans hit a great ball. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
