Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Marco Peña kicked off to start the match. In the 7th match minute, Macharnudo Alto was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Henric Lozano to maneuver through the defense. After recieving a nice pass, Hornos's Arlo Nieto tried to score from far away in the 8th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Aurelio Montaña took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Teodoro Folch, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Etxahun De Paula in the 23rd minute of play forced Macharnudo Alto's goalkeeper Aurelio Montaña to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 27th minute Etxahun De Paula shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aurelio Montaña saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Matthew Gibert kicked well hit freekick during the 33rd minute of the match. Josu Madariaga received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Melquiades Babia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 43rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Hornos's goalkeeper Melquiades Babia, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

A collision led to Hornos getting a freekick after 52 minutes play. Hugo Pena hit a great ball. Josu Madariaga fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Melquiades Babia having to interfere. In the 64th minute, Teodoro Folch got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 67th minute Marco Peña shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Melquiades Babia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 71stth minute of the game Teodoro Folch who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Macharnudo Alto's Aurelio Montaña was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After a rather tough play, Macharnudo Alto's Sagrario Santiago got a free kick in the 73rd minute. After having played for 75 minutes, Etxahun De Paula managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hornos's supporters crossed their fingers, but Etxahun De Paula was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Teodoro Folch sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Marco Peña had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hornos's Melquiades Babia played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Josu Madariaga in the 82nd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Teodoro Folch in the 85th minute of play forced Macharnudo Alto's goalkeeper Aurelio Montaña to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Marco Peña's late challenge caught a Hornos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Marco Peña helped the player get up and apologised. After 87 played minutes Macharnudo Alto got a freekick which was hit by Marco Peña. A collision led to Hornos getting a freekick after 90 minutes play. Jokin Velazquez hit a great ball. Melquiades Babia made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marco Peña in the 96th minute of play. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
