Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Rolando Tancredo made the kick off which started today's match. Erubiel Maura came out of the goal in the 15th minute to try and stop a shot by Concepción FC's Alejo Giro. But to his dismay, Alejo Giro quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 21st minute, Alejo Giro ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Erubiel Maura was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. The audience was convinced that Filomeno Ruy's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Erubiel Maura was relentless in the 25th minute of the game. In the 33rd minute Rolando Tancredo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cesar Txema saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Segundo Garikoitz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cesar Txema having to interfere. In the 36th match minute, Concepción FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gervasio Baudelio to maneuver through the defense. Filomeno Ruy struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Erubiel Maura didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Concepción FC. Erubiel Maura showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alejo Giro in the 45th minute of the match. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

Islas's Erubiel Maura proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 58th minute of the match, managed to save Islas from getting a goal against them. Islas's defense didn't have a chance, in the 63rd minute, when Alejo Giro scored to the left of an out of position Erubiel Maura, making the score, 0-3. Filomeno Ruy sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The supporters of Concepción FC booed when Islas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Segundo Garikoitz didn't get a good kick on the ball. Angelino Martxot was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 69th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Alejo Giro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 72nd minute. Erubiel Maura tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 73 minutes, Rolando Tancredo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Islas and the Concepción FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Rolando Tancredo hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. Erubiel Maura showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alejo Giro in the 74th minute of the match. Pedro Maraman kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. Filomeno Ruy sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Alejo Giro in the 84th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Erubiel Maura prevented the ball from getting in the gole. When Segundo Garikoitz came up free with the goalie in the 86th minute, the Islas 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 Segundo Garikoitz couldn't finish the play. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Concepción FC eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
