Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Hospital's Chumo Darraña started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. The crowd rose to their feet as Brais Cantabrana kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Quexal Villamandos. That made the score 1-0 in the 8 minute of play. After a rather tough play, Hospital's Restu Becerro got a free kick in the 12th minute. The referee felt a red card was in order, 15 minutes into the game, when Ellande Herezuelo put in a rough tackle. Mattin Godoy took the ball and in the 17 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mateo Amor. Mateo Amor dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. When Zuri Valladares fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hospital's protests and gave Zuri Valladares a yellow card for diving instead. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 20th minute of the game. One of Hospital:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Dep. La Fisura:s goal. When the match had been going on for 22 minutes, Dep. La Fisura's Dante Tofiño got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Quexal Villamandos. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Tauro Urizar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hospital's supporters rose to their feet, but Tauro Urizar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mateo Amor breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tauro Urizar charged in rather forcefully in the 33rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Tauro Urizar the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Tauro Urizar hit a great freekick 33 minutes into the match. Dep. La Fisura's Mateo Amor played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Chumo Darraña in the 40th minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Pio Garabito received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Quexal Villamandos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 75th minute, Hospital's Tauro Urizar dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 3-2. 79 minutes into the match, Tauro Urizar had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mateo Amor. Dep. La Fisura's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tauro Urizar was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-3. After 82 played minutes Hospital got a freekick which was hit by Nelio Noboa. Quexal Villamandos made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Vedillo Barco in the 83rd minute of play. When Velasco Castrejana came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Dep. La Fisura 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 Velasco Castrejana couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Hospital's zone, Velasco Castrejana stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Quexal Villamandos came out of the goal and Velasco Castrejana tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Pio Garabito sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 94 minutes into the match, Dep. La Fisura's Pio Garabito sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Quexal Villamandos narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Hospital succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Dep. La Fisura had controlled the match.
