Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Ruben Arce managed to get in a good position for a shot. Luca's supporters rose to their feet, but Ruben Arce was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Leonel Lohitzun breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 6 minutes into the match, Laureano Jerold notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Cepeda's Leonel Lohitzun. Leonel Lohitzun was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Nicolas Boni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Augusto Beat came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Cepeda 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 Augusto Beat couldn't finish the play.

In the 24th minute Nicolas Boni shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rafael Montez saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Cepeda's Nicolas Boni in the 27th minute got a chance for a shot 27th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Luca's goalie prevented a goal. In the 38th minute, Ruben Arce 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. Nicolas Boni fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafael Montez having to interfere. In the 46th minute, Laureano Jerold hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Laureano Jerold fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leonel Lohitzun having to interfere. Clodoveo Aguirre's late challenge caught a Luca's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Clodoveo Aguirre helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Cepeda's Clodoveo Aguirre got a free kick in the 73rd minute. Ruben Arce's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Leonel Lohitzun read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 75th minute of play. Luca's Laureano Jerold got a good chance for a goal in the 81st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Laureano Jerold received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Leonel Lohitzun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The long shot by Roman Odon in the 92nd minute really tested Leonel Lohitzun'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. The Luca players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
