Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Servando Higuera made the kick off which started today's match. Jacinto Saboya took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Xofre Alavedra, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 4 minutes into the match, Alejandro Verdu had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Egoi Fuster. Villar De Cuevas AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alejandro Verdu was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Abundio Cabrera charged in rather forcefully in the 8th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Abundio Cabrera the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Villar De Cuevas AFC booed when Barri De Sant Roc AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Abundio Cabrera didn't get a good kick on the ball. Sabin Sainz was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 9th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Barri De Sant Roc AFC's Jacinto Saboya played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Xavian Idiaquez in the 10th minute of play.

Jusepe Pareja recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Jusepe Pareja had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Xavian Idiaquez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Barri De Sant Roc AFC's Abundio Cabrera got his second yellow card of the match in the 21st minute. The referee ordered Abundio Cabrera off the ground.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Jacinto Saboya prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 36 minutes into the match, Barri De Sant Roc AFC's goalkeeper Jacinto Saboya had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jusepe Pareja.

Barri De Sant Roc AFC's Alejandro Verdu got a good chance for a goal in the 67th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Alejandro Verdu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpected shot in the 77th minute by Alejandro Verdu got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.

With a little luck, Villar De Cuevas AFC's Egoi Fuster got control of the ball when Alejandro Verdu tried to sneak it across the goal line.
