Montilla
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Montilla's Felipillo Idiaquez started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. The audience was convinced that Florinio Campomanes's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Juanfran Merino was relentless in the 2nd minute of the game. Tobiasr Pabon recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 9th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 11th minute, Aita Abasalo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Juanfran Merino was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. 18 minutes into the game, Etxepare Urruti was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Arascues SD's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Montilla the free kick. After 18 played minutes Arascues SD got a freekick which was hit by Etxepare Urruti. Juanfran Merino took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Florinio Campomanes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 21st minute, Aita Abasalo made a precise shot to the right of Juanfran Merino. Montilla's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. Tobiasr Pabon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 29th minute, Aita Abasalo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Juanfran Merino was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-4. 32 minutes into the match, Arascues SD's goal looked a bit too open when Felipillo Idiaquez came free, but Albi Pena reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some careless play in the Montilla defense, Tobiasr Pabon kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Juanfran Merino. The Montilla fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Juanfran Merino should have stopped the shot. Aita Abasalo struck a weak shot in the 37th minute. Juanfran Merino didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arascues SD. If Tobiasr Pabon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half Arascues SD were leading 0-5. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Aita Abasalo was the one to do the kick off. Juanfran Merino made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tobiasr Pabon in the 56th minute of play. The supporters of Arascues SD booed when Montilla was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 56 match minutes in a wonderful position. Felipillo Idiaquez didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 60th minute Tobiasr Pabon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Juanfran Merino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Montilla's Juanfran Merino proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 62nd minute of the match, managed to save Montilla from getting a goal against them. Montilla's defense didn't have a chance, in the 64th minute, when Carlos Galdamez scored to the left of an out of position Juanfran Merino, making the score, 0-6. After 69 minutes, Felipillo Idiaquez mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Montilla and the Arascues SD players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 69th match minute, Montilla was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Felipillo Idiaquez to maneuver through the defense. 77 minutes into the game, Carlos Galdamez recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Juanfran Merino. Carlos Galdamez showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-8. 81 minutes into the match, Tobiasr Pabon dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Juanfran Merino, 0-9. After a rather tough play, Arascues SD's Baltazar Colsa got a free kick in the 84th minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Tobiasr Pabon kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Juanfran Merino. That made the score 0-10 in the 88 minute of play. Tobiasr Pabon was extremely unlucky when he, in the 93rd minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Felipillo Idiaquez hit a great freekick 97 minutes into the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Aita Abasalo got free with Juanfran Merino in the 99th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the final whistle sounded Arascues SD left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Montilla.
