Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The long shot by Santo Urbasa in the 4th minute really tested Desiderio Derwin's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Iker Udalaitz kicked well hit freekick during the 5th minute of the match. Aaron Dolfos's late challenge caught a A. D. Berazategui's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aaron Dolfos helped the player get up and apologised. In the 9th match minute, Defensores de Tolkien was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aaron Dolfos to maneuver through the defense. If Nemesio Bakar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Defensores de Tolkien's Nemesio Bakar got a good chance for a goal in the 18th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Adan Jaen struck a weak shot in the 22nd minute. Alejandro Martxot didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Defensores de Tolkien. After 23 minutes, Nemesio Bakar made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. A. D. Berazategui's Alejandro Martxot tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Desiderio Derwin made a fantastic save in the 26th minute, when Haroldo Servando sent off a good shot on target. 28 minutes into the match, Haroldo Servando had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Desiderio Derwin. Defensores de Tolkien's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Haroldo Servando was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Alejandro Martxot came out of the goal in the 30th minute to try and stop a shot by Defensores de Tolkien's Nemesio Bakar. But to his dismay, Nemesio Bakar quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Desiderio Derwin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Narciso Argina in the 37th minute of the match. Jimeno Tomi's late challenge caught a A. D. Berazategui's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jimeno Tomi helped the player get up and apologised. In the 38th match minute, Defensores de Tolkien was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jimeno Tomi to maneuver through the defense. 41 minutes into the match, Adan Jaen had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alejandro Martxot. A. D. Berazategui's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Adan Jaen was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. Disappointed in the 1-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Narciso Argina made a kick off. The supporters of A. D. Berazategui booed when Defensores de Tolkien was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 51 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ildefonso Koldobika didn't get a good kick on the ball. Santo Urbasa, 52 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. 65 minutes had been played when some careless play by A. D. Berazategui's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Iker Udalaitz was slow to take the kick. During this time Defensores de Tolkien's players had a chance to rest. If Adan Jaen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. During the 77th minute of the match Aaron Dolfos completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Aaron Dolfos a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Jimeno Tomi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Alejandro Martxot tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Haroldo Servando sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Nemesio Bakar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alejandro Martxot having to interfere. The A. D. Berazategui supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Defensores de Tolkien's performance. The match ended with a win for Defensores de Tolkien.
