Benidoleig Estadio
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Roque Pujol kicked off to start the match. After 5 minutes of play, MOLLERUSA FC's Antxoka Sánchez made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Reno Barrientos was left in no man's land by his defense there! Colon Tarin could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 8th minute of the match, but Arnaldo Maroto made a huge save. After a rather tough play, MOLLERUSA FC's Jeremias Cainzos got a free kick in the 8th minute. Roque Pujol struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Arnaldo Maroto didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Benidoleig. The audience thought a goal was coming when Zosimo Pardo got free with Arnaldo Maroto in the 12th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Antxoka Sánchez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Reno Barrientos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Arnaldo Maroto made a fantastic save in the 30th minute, when Zosimo Pardo sent off a good shot on target. After 30 played minutes MOLLERUSA FC got a freekick which was hit by Jeremias Cainzos. If Fe Palanques had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Antxoka Sánchez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Reno Barrientos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 46 minutes, Antxoka Sánchez managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. MOLLERUSA FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Antxoka Sánchez was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Fe Palanques made the kick off in the second half. Antxoka Sánchez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 51st minute. Reno Barrientos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Benidoleig's goalkeeper Reno Barrientos, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Fe Palanques received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Reno Barrientos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Arnaldo Maroto made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Damario Fuente in the 62nd minute of play. Reno Barrientos didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Antxoka Sánchez went, in the 64th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. 69 minutes into the match, Zosimo Pardo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Arnaldo Maroto. MOLLERUSA FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zosimo Pardo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. The crowd rose to their feet as Antxoka Sánchez kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Reno Barrientos. That made the score 2-3 in the 73 minute of play. Arnaldo Maroto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Colon Tarin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Arnaldo Maroto came out of the goal in the 79th minute to try and stop a shot by Benidoleig's Zosimo Pardo. But to his dismay, Zosimo Pardo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-3. Antxoka Sánchez blasted a shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Reno Barrientos having to make a save. Fe Palanques succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 3-4 in the 86th playminute. After 92 minutes, Benigno Aceves mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the MOLLERUSA FC and the Benidoleig players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, MOLLERUSA FC's Benigno Aceves got a free kick in the 92nd minute. When Jeremias Cainzos fell near the penalty area in the 93rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored MOLLERUSA FC's protests and gave Jeremias Cainzos a yellow card for diving instead. Jeremias Cainzos kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. Roque Pujol fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 97th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arnaldo Maroto having to interfere.
