Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Sidoro Ayaso made the kick off which started today's match. Paublo Ibarrola recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mederi Raigadas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Paublo Ibarrola, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 11th minute Paublo Ibarrola shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mederi Raigadas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ivon Blasco could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 14th minute of the match, but Bieito Candanedo made a huge save. Carlos Atencio hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. Ivon Blasco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bieito Candanedo having to interfere. After 18 minutes of play Sarandi AFC's Carlos Atencio 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. The supporters of Tapia FC booed when Sarandi AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Carlos Atencio didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 20th minute the ball was on its way in behind Sarandi AFC's goalkeeper Bieito Candanedo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Paublo Ibarrola received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Mederi Raigadas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Bieito Candanedo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sidoro Ayaso in the 27th minute of play. 35 minutes into the match, Sarandi AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Sidoro Ayaso came free, but Bieito Candanedo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 47th minute of the match, Ivon Blasco got a very nice opportunity to score, but Bieito Candanedo was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Valentine Cubian made the kick off in the second half. Bieito Candanedo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sidoro Ayaso in the 52nd minute of play. 53 minutes into the game, Alberino Ormaechea was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

In the 55th match minute, Sarandi AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alberino Ormaechea to maneuver through the defense. If Sidoro Ayaso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ivon Blasco struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Bieito Candanedo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tapia FC. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sidoro Ayaso in the 61st minute of play forced Sarandi AFC's goalkeeper Bieito Candanedo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 64 minutes into the match, Tapia FC's Ivon Blasco sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Bieito Candanedo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 69th match minute, Tapia FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by George Esqueda to maneuver through the defense. The long shot by Damian Dorol in the 70th minute really tested Mederi Raigadas'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. 83 minutes into the match, Tapia FC's goalkeeper Mederi Raigadas had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Valentine Cubian. Valentine Cubian's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mederi Raigadas read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 85th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 90th minute, Sidoro Ayaso managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tapia FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Sidoro Ayaso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bieito Candanedo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tapia FC's Eguzki Aliceda got a good chance for a goal in the 95th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
