Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Orlo Espinosa started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. When Atauri Barrientos fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hispanistas FC's protests and gave Atauri Barrientos a yellow card for diving instead. After 3 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Hispanistas FC! Xabier Harroyo shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Silvino Paz kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. After having played for 14 minutes, Alfonso Bueno managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hispanistas FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alfonso Bueno was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 16th minute, Jesús Caballero managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hispanistas FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Jesús Caballero was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Pascal Echavarri breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Orlo Espinosa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Artemio Casanova had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 26 minutes into the match, Artemio Casanova had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alirio March. Hispanistas FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Artemio Casanova was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. 30 minutes into the match, Cobaticas FC's goal looked a bit too open when Orlo Espinosa came free, but Pascal Echavarri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Alirio March made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Artemio Casanova in the 34th minute of play.

The referee showed Etxahun Benítez the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.

In the 45th minute the ball was on its way in behind Cobaticas FC's goalkeeper Pascal Echavarri, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The Cobaticas FC fans' excitement grew in the 48th match minute when Cobaticas FC's Artemio Casanova looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Estebano Balboa made the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute, Ostadar Patiño hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alirio March showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Estebano Balboa, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Estebano Balboa in the 72nd minute of play forced Hispanistas FC's goalkeeper Alirio March to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Artemio Casanova might have been able to make a better finish in the 74th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Alirio March. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Artemio Casanova ran back to his position shaking his head. 74 minutes into the match, Cobaticas FC's Estebano Balboa sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Alirio March narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Orlo Espinosa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Artemio Casanova had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
