Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Mero Garcia took the kick off in the first half of the match. Mero Garcia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mero Garcia in the 6th minute of play forced Martorell's goalkeeper Reno Armada to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Aurre Saez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Reno Armada made a fantastic save in the 15th minute, when Aurre Saez sent off a good shot on target. After 20 minutes of play, Martorell's Efren Cañadas made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Lalo Mayor was left in no man's land by his defense there! The supporters of Martorell booed when Riells was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arnaitz Cortes didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Landolfo Solera in the 24th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Lalo Mayor saved Riells from getting behind. In the 29th match minute, Riells was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Arnaitz Cortes to maneuver through the defense. Rodas Zárate, 30 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Riells's Lalo Mayor played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Efren Cañadas in the 32nd minute of play. Ostadar Ruiz hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. Efren Cañadas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 40 minutes into the game, Efren Cañadas was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Martorell's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Riells the free kick. Ariando Campos hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. Rubén Benito took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 43rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Reno Armada. Martorell's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Landolfo Solera made the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Efren Cañadas got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 61 minutes into the match, Riells's goalkeeper Lalo Mayor had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Efren Cañadas. Lalo Mayor showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Landolfo Solera, who was totally free with the ball in the 65th minute. After 66 minutes of play, Riells's Aurre Saez made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Reno Armada was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 69 minutes, Arnaitz Cortes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Riells and the Martorell players grew even worse after the yellow card. Arnaitz Cortes hit a great freekick 69 minutes into the match. Lamberto Sirvent kicked well hit freekick during the 71st minute of the match. In the 75th minute, Ostadar Ruiz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Efren Cañadas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lalo Mayor having to interfere. 82 minutes into the game, Martorell's Landolfo Solera nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Lalo Mayor made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. When Charro Villanueva fell near the penalty area in the 86th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Riells's protests and gave Charro Villanueva a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Riells's Charro Villanueva got a free kick in the 86th minute. If Landolfo Solera had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
