Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) In the 2nd minute, Camilo Gisbert hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Wit Zapolski's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Julio Vera was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. Zisis Vourlis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristian Sancho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Daniel Zorita sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

The referee ordered 柯川翔 off the ground.

Daniel Zorita took the ball and in the 33 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Zisis Vourlis.

After 51 played minutes Πυργετός Fc got a freekick which was hit by Wit Zapolski.

A collision led to Πυργετός Fc getting a freekick after 71 minutes play. Christian Martxelin hit a great ball. When Cezary Laba came up free with the goalie in the 77th minute, the Πυργετός 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 Cezary Laba couldn't finish the play. 82 minutes into the game, Christian Martxelin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
