Spectators: 7526 (Terracing: 5645, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) Aimar Villa made the kick off and thus started the match. 12 minutes into the match, Soucar FC's goal looked a bit too open when Anacleto Cisco came free, but Eloy Mangas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Amadeo Florin was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 19th minute. Copérnico F.C.'s manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.

Anacleto Cisco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eloy Mangas having to interfere.

Soucar FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Arnoldo Sergi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Anacleto Cisco in the 87th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Eloy Mangas saved Soucar FC from getting behind. Arsenio Canor struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Eloy Mangas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Copérnico F.C..
