When the match had gone on for 18 minutes, Henric Gil took a quick shot and it went in 1-1 without a chance for Quentin Mezquita to make any attempt to save it.

In the 46th minute, Raúl Gómez 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. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

Henric Gil fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Quentin Mezquita having to interfere. After 62 played minutes, Xirivella FC's Ximeno Ecija shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Dionisio Suarez came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Xirivella FC reached it. Quentin Mezquita showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Henric Gil in the 64th minute of the match. 67 minutes into the match, Manuel Rubio's Ametz Barba sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Quentin Mezquita narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Jorge Puig kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. Dionisio Suarez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Raúl Gómez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Aniol Bastida had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ximeno Ecija hit a great freekick 94 minutes into the match.
