Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Lepe's Melchor Ziguenza started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After having played for 9 minutes, Melchor Ziguenza managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lepe's supporters crossed their fingers, but Melchor Ziguenza was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gorri Ortega in the 10th minute of play forced Lepe's goalkeeper Gaizkine Pastor to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Coslada AFC booed when Lepe was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ciro Bartumeu didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 15th minute Melchor Ziguenza shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gau Veloso saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Coslada AFC's Gau Veloso proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 24th minute of the match, managed to save Coslada AFC from getting a goal against them. 32 minutes into the match, Lepe's Iosu Flores sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gau Veloso narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Alfronso Bargas struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Gaizkine Pastor didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Coslada AFC. After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Melchor Ziguenza managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lepe's supporters rose to their feet, but Melchor Ziguenza was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gau Veloso breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 1-0 became the score in the 40th minute when Iosu Flores elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 47th minute of the match Bernardo Gasso shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Gau Veloso showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alfronso Bargas made a kick off. Esteve Benedicto hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. 57 minutes into the match, Coslada AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Iosu Flores came free, but Gau Veloso reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Coslada AFC's Alfronso Bargas in the 65th minute got a chance for a shot 65th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Lepe's goalie prevented a goal. Gau Veloso took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Iosu Flores, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Gaizkine Pastor made a fantastic save in the 69th minute, when Gorri Ortega sent off a good shot on target. Lepe's Melchor Ziguenza got a good chance for a goal in the 75th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 80th minute, Leonardo Patiño hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Gorri Ortega had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 88th match minute, Lepe was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Melchor Ziguenza to maneuver through the defense. 91 minutes into the game, Iosu Flores cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-0.

Lepe were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Coslada AFC for a fine match.
