Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The audience thought a goal was coming when Baldomero Ziguenza got free with Tirso Cameno in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 13thth minute of the game Benjamin Lacorte who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but La Pueblanueva's Tirso Cameno was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. La Pueblanueva's Tirso Cameno proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 15th minute of the match, managed to save La Pueblanueva from getting a goal against them. Bras Harroyo scored 1-2 in the 24th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Leonardo Acosta, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. La Pueblanueva's Tirso Cameno proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 37th minute of the match, managed to save La Pueblanueva from getting a goal against them. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Nando Nunez during the 38th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. If Manolo Manrique had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half La Pueblanueva were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Benjamin Lacorte made the kick off in the second half. Manolo Manriques short, quick shot in the 53rdth minute got Leonardo Acosta to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Marcelino Carro during the 53rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of La Pueblanueva booed when Sporting La Cruz was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marcelino Carro didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Bras Harroyo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Manolo Manrique had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bras Harroyo's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Leonardo Acosta read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 61st minute of play. A hard shot 63 in the game by Manolo Manrique from a close distance when the talented Leonardo Acosta managed to make a qualified save. Sporting La Cruz's players were relieved. Baldomero Ziguenza struck a weak shot in the 67th minute. Tirso Cameno didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sporting La Cruz. In the 72nd minute Benjamin Lacorte shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tirso Cameno saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 75 minutes, Baldomero Ziguenza managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sporting La Cruz's supporters crossed their fingers, but Baldomero Ziguenza was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jairo Tobias sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Bras Harroyo came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the La Pueblanueva fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Bras Harroyo couldn't finish the play. Manolo Manrique received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Leonardo Acosta tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Sporting La Cruz's zone, Manolo Manrique stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leonardo Acosta came out of the goal and Manolo Manrique tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Leonardo Acosta took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bras Harroyo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
