Jeronimo Vimaro started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute Martin Aznar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gaudencio Benino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 9 minutes into the game, Honorio Ioritz recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Enrique Indartsu.
