Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mustafá Verges kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, Romanillos AFC's Esteve Infante got a free kick in the 3rd minute. Marques Casta kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match.

In the 12th minute, Romanillos AFC's Mustafá Verges dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. Anacleto Verdeja took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mustafá Verges, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Quique Macia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute. Delfino Ferrer tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sant Pere De Ribes FC's Anacleto Verdeja played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Leandro Santander in the 37th minute of play. When Quique Macia came up free with the goalie in the 45th minute, the Sant Pere De Ribes 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 Quique Macia couldn't finish the play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Quique Macia made a kick off. With a little luck, Romanillos AFC's Delfino Ferrer got control of the ball when Mark Gala tried to sneak it across the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mark Gala got free with Delfino Ferrer in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After having played for 56 minutes, Quique Macia managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sant Pere De Ribes FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Quique Macia 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 rather tough play, Romanillos AFC's Joseba Palomares got a free kick in the 57th minute. Mark Gala recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mustafá Verges fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anacleto Verdeja having to interfere. Anacleto Verdeja made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cesaro Alabern in the 63rd minute of play. Romanillos AFC's Delfino Ferrer proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 66th minute of the match, managed to save Romanillos AFC from getting a goal against them. If Mark Gala had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Narciso Duran was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 70 minutes into the match. In the 70th minute, one of Romanillos AFC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Romanillos AFC. When the match had been going on for 72 minutes, Sant Pere De Ribes FC's James Baltanas got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Delfino Ferrer. In the 76th minute, Pedro Garay hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mark Gala blasted a shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Delfino Ferrer having to make a save. Sant Pere De Ribes FC's Quique Macia got a good chance for a goal in the 83rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Quique Macia's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Delfino Ferrer was relentless in the 86th minute of the game. Cesaro Alabern sent away a hard shot on goal in the 99th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
