Tavio Ballesteros might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Milton Ecija. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tavio Ballesteros ran back to his position shaking his head. When Omar Rapado came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Valdarachas CD fans jumped to their feet.

After 46 minutes of play, Sporting Manzaneda's Duarte Perez made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

After having played for 66 minutes, Omar Rapado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
