In the 11th minute Manel Cambero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pancracio Valverde saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 13th minute Jusepe Quintas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ruben Casero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 15 minutes into the match, Gonsalve Griego had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Pancracio Valverde. Escuadra's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gonsalve Griego was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 18 minutes into the match, DREAM TEAM's Manel Cambero sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Pancracio Valverde narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Manel Cambero recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Escuadra's Pancracio Valverde played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Manel Cambero in the 25th minute of play. If Jusepe Quintas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 31st match minute, DREAM TEAM was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Etor Muelas to maneuver through the defense. Lico Sierra's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 34thth minute, Ruben Casero skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. In the 37th minute of the match Alberto Vilanova shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Pancracio Valverde showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Gonsalve Griego received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Pancracio Valverde tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Manel Cambero stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Jusepe Quintas ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ruben Casero was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. After 56 minutes, Etor Muelas mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the DREAM TEAM and the Escuadra players grew even worse after the yellow card. Julen Cayuela hit a great freekick 65 minutes into the match. After 68 played minutes DREAM TEAM got a freekick which was hit by Celso Maestro. 72 minutes had been played when some careless play by DREAM TEAM's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Julen Cayuela was slow to take the kick. During this time Escuadra's players had a chance to rest. Julen Cayuela made a great header on Escuadra's corner, it was just that DREAM TEAM's Ruben Casero managed to reach the ball for a save. Gonsalve Griego received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute.
