Portus
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Bienvenido Griful started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 9th minute, Peio Ortiz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Crespia FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Peio Ortiz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Xilo Sánchez breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 10th minute, Francesco Acarreta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bienvenido Griful's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Isidro Orozco read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. In the 15th minute of the match, Macario Rosas got a very nice opportunity to score, but Isidro Orozco was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Bienvenido Griful in the 25th minute of play forced Crespia FC's goalkeeper Isidro Orozco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Crespia FC booed when Portus was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 29 match minutes in a wonderful position. Estefan Silvestre didn't get a good kick on the ball. Enetz santillana fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Xilo Sánchez having to interfere. Peio Ortiz struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Xilo Sánchez didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Crespia FC. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Enetz santillana stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.
