After having played for 11 minutes, Hilario Baeza managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Fombellida's goalkeeper Pepe Muelas, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Gizon Darroja dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. After a defensive mix-up in Fombellida's zone, Hilario Baeza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pepe Muelas came out of the goal and Hilario Baeza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
