After a rather tough play, Rocha AFC's Laureano Subijana got a free kick in the 2nd minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Cutberto Ontova during the 6th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Aldecoa fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 5th minute. Penalty! Ponciano Algara blasted a shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Zelipe Vid having to make a save. After a defensive mix-up in Rocha AFC's zone, Ponciano Algara stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zelipe Vid came out of the goal and Ponciano Algara tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ponciano Algara fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zelipe Vid having to interfere. Bruno Sandoval hit a great freekick 34 minutes into the match. 2-1 became the score in the 36th minute when Ponciano Algara elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. 40 minutes into the match, Aldecoa's John Verdesoto sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Zelipe Vid narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 42nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Aldecoa's goalkeeper Weterio Ladrero, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 42 played minutes Aldecoa got a freekick which was hit by Stanislao Igartua.
Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Quin Alvaro to make the kick off. With 53 minutes on the clock, Xilo Latonero commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. In the 55th minute there was a penalty for Aldecoa. Pinto Ugalde stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Zelipe Vid. 2-2. In the 69th minute, Ponciano Algara 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. John Verdesoto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zelipe Vid having to interfere. In the 72nd minute, Ponciano Algara 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. Ponciano Algara recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If John Verdesoto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rocha AFC's Zelipe Vid played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lartaun Villasante in the 90th minute of play. Guido Viladrosa's late challenge caught a Aldecoa's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Guido Viladrosa helped the player get up and apologised. Zelipe Vid showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ponciano Algara in the 95th minute of the match. The Rocha AFC supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Aldecoa's performance. The match ended with a win for Aldecoa.
