Estadio Reus
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hitz Gonzáles took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 9th minute Hitz Gonzáles shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pierres Cambero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Maurino Palanques in the 10th minute of play forced Reus's goalkeeper Julián Bodelon to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the match had gone on for 13 minutes, Hitz Gonzáles took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Pierres Cambero to make any attempt to save it. In the 16th minute, Belarmo Leyva made a precise shot to the right of Julián Bodelon. Reus's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 23rd minute, Rodney Silvestre managed to get in a good position for a shot. Manresa's supporters rose to their feet, but Rodney Silvestre was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Julián Bodelon breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 25thth minute of the game Rodney Silvestre who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Reus's Julián Bodelon was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Pierres Cambero made a fantastic save in the 26th minute, when Quinton Font sent off a good shot on target. In a very dangerous position, a player in Manresa fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 27th minute. Penalty! The goalkeeper, Pierres Cambero, was totally fooled by Reus's Bernat Bartumeu, who 29 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. With a little luck, Manresa's Pierres Cambero got control of the ball when Quinton Font tried to sneak it across the goal line. Julián Bodelon made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rodney Silvestre in the 36th minute of play. Nemesio Unzueta fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pierres Cambero having to interfere. If Rodney Silvestre had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Rodney Silvestre made a kick off. Maurino Palanques sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Quinton Font sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Julián Bodelon took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rodney Silvestre, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Quinton Font struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Pierres Cambero didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Reus. If Hitz Gonzáles had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pierres Cambero made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Quinton Font in the 83rd minute of play. 85 minutes into the match, Manresa's goal looked a bit too open when Quinton Font came free, but Pierres Cambero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Reus's Hitz Gonzáles got a good chance for a goal in the 87th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Mateo Verdu lost his temper 89 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Manresa fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 89th minute. Penalty! Quinton Font took the ball and in the 95 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Pierres Cambero. Pierres Cambero dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-1. Reus were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Manresa for a fine match.
