After 35 minutes, Santiago Alvarez made it 1-2 with a short kick to the right side. Trabazo FC's Rubén Millán tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot.

Disappointed in the 1-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

After a rather tough play, Trabazo FC's Gerardo Losada got a free kick in the 53rd minute. From a short distance, Llafranc FC's Charro Doblas, in the 54th minute, tried to place the ball behind Rubén Millán, but the ball hit the right post on the wrong side and went out. In the 56th minute of the match Llafranc FC got a corner. Trabazo FC's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Unai Cerreri ran over to the corner to take the kick. A well done corner resulted in Nazario Canal drilling the ball in to score 1-4 behind Trabazo FC's goalkeeper. If Lano Pacheco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lano Pacheco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Epicuro Moreno having to interfere. After 69 played minutes Llafranc FC got a freekick which was hit by Charro Doblas. Santiago Alvarez struck a weak shot in the 75th minute.

After a defensive mix-up in Llafranc FC's zone, Berbiz Arenas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Epicuro Moreno came out of the goal and Berbiz Arenas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 88th minute, Charro Doblas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Llafranc FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Charro Doblas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rubén Millán breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Lano Pacheco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded.
