Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Gualterio Criston got the match started through his kick off. 5 minutes into the match, develEZ's goal looked a bit too open when Augusto Gurutz came free, but Aureliano Efren reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Aureliano Efren took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Augusto Gurutz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 16 minutes of play, DTV SPORT's Ovidio Bertol made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Aureliano Efren was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, develEZ's Arotza Orbiz got a free kick in the 21st minute. Arotza Orbiz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fausto Estebano having to interfere. develEZ's Aureliano Efren played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ovidio Bertol in the 34th minute of play. In the 38th match minute, develEZ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by David Elizardo to maneuver through the defense. After 45 played minutes develEZ got a freekick which was hit by Arotza Orbiz. After 48 minutes, Maximo Maria mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the develEZ and the DTV SPORT players grew even worse after the yellow card. Maximo Maria kicked well hit freekick during the 48th minute of the match. Aureliano Efren showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gualterio Criston, who was totally free with the ball in the 51st minute.

Fausto Estebano showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Konrad Skorny in the 63rd minute of the match. The supporters of DTV SPORT booed when develEZ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 69 match minutes in a wonderful position. Federico Isias didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 73 minutes of play develEZ's Maximo Maria was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground.

In the 90th minute Gualterio Criston shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aureliano Efren saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bruno Dalmau kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. Aureliano Efren made a fantastic save in the 98th minute, when Gualterio Criston sent off a good shot on target.
