Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mario Innocenzio made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Prudencio Alfonso managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pla's supporters rose to their feet, but Prudencio Alfonso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Marcelo Rivas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mario Innocenzio in the 6th minute of play forced Pla's goalkeeper Roman Tello to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Timoteo Ubelteso received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Marcelo Rivas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Prudencio Alfonso fell near the penalty area in the 13th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pla's protests and gave Prudencio Alfonso a yellow card for diving instead. A hard shot by Cristian Urti from long distance, 20 minutes into the match, got Marcelo Rivas's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. In the 22nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Tambería's goalkeeper Marcelo Rivas, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Mario Innocenzio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Santos Filipo's late challenge caught a Tambería's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Santos Filipo helped the player get up and apologised. Santos Filipo hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. Roman Tello took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Augusto Estebe, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 32 minutes into the match, Pla's goal looked a bit too open when Mario Innocenzio came free, but Roman Tello reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Augusto Estebe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Pla's Santos Filipo got his second yellow card of the match in the 35th minute. The referee ordered Santos Filipo off the ground.

Daniel Su didn't get a good kick on the ball. Marcelo Rivas made an important save on a dangerous shot by Timoteo Ubelteso in the 42nd minute. In the 44thth minute of the game Augusto Estebe who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Pla's Roman Tello was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Timoteo Ubelteso made a kick off. If Augusto Estebe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mario Innocenzio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Roman Tello having to interfere. Augusto Estebe might have been able to make a better finish in the 57th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Roman Tello. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Augusto Estebe ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 59th match minute, Pla was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Timoteo Ubelteso to maneuver through the defense. The supporters of Tambería booed when Pla was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Raul Bernad didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gaspar Mateus got in the 61st minute the ball and tried a long shot which scored to the left of Roman Tello and thus it was 0-1. After a defensive mix-up in Pla's zone, Mario Innocenzio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Roman Tello came out of the goal and Mario Innocenzio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Daniel Su came up free with the goalie in the 72nd minute, the Tambería fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Daniel Su couldn't finish the play. With his leg Roman Tello managed to avoid a goal in the 75thth minute, when Tambería's Augusto Estebe fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 77th minute, one of Pla:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Pla. Raul Bernad hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. In the 84th minute, Pla's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Mario Innocenzio fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post.

Daniel Su hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Augusto Estebe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 97th minute. Roman Tello tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
