Zuberoa Bergada kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. The nice shot from Xaiver Sans in the 11thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Teodor Naranjo had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post.

Freixa's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After the first half Jatar were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The corner ended in Baudilio Cuadrado almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Freixa's Cucao Maroto did a great save.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dalmai Ponce couldn't finish the play. After having played for 75 minutes, Xaiver Sans managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
