Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lazcano Besosa started the match with the kick off. In the 8th minute, Reynold's Lazcano Besosa dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. Bernad Cavallosa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Burutzagi Mangas in the 12th minute of play. In a very dangerous position, a player in Pedernal fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 14th minute. Penalty! Bernad Cavallosa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Xefe Ochotorena in the 22nd minute of play. Eriberto Mostoles recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Burutzagi Mangas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bernad Cavallosa having to interfere. In the 33rd minute, Xefe Ochotorena 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. Bernad Cavallosa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Xefe Ochotorena in the 36th minute of the match. With a little luck, Pedernal's Ramond Molla got control of the ball when Beltran Enciso tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ramond Molla took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lazcano Besosa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 43rd minute, Burutzagi Mangas made a precise shot to the right of Bernad Cavallosa. Reynold's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. Thanks to some nice moves Eriberto Mostoles could shoot a difficult shot in the 46th minute, which Ramond Molla however easily saved by the left post. 48 minutes had been played when some careless play by Pedernal's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Delmar Mantilla was slow to take the kick. During this time Reynold's players had a chance to rest. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Burutzagi Mangas to make the kick off. Pedernal's Ramond Molla played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Duarte Bengoechea in the 52nd minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Eriberto Mostoles in the 60th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ramond Molla saved Pedernal from getting behind. In the 62nd minute Burutzagi Mangas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bernad Cavallosa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With an all-out effort, Pedernal's Bernad Cavallosa threw himself towards the right post 64 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Burutzagi Mangas, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Ramond Molla took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eriberto Mostoles, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 67th minute the ball was on its way in behind Pedernal's goalkeeper Ramond Molla, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The referee felt a red card was in order, 69 minutes into the game, when Damaso Trueba put in a rough tackle. In the 71st minute there was a penalty for Reynold. Delmar Mantilla stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Ramond Molla. 3-1. Beltran Enciso received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Ramond Molla tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Xefe Ochotorena sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Duarte Bengoechea charged in rather forcefully in the 91st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Duarte Bengoechea the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Pedernal booed when Reynold was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 91 match minutes in a wonderful position. Duarte Bengoechea didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ramond Molla showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eriberto Mostoles, who was totally free with the ball in the 94th minute. When Xefe Ochotorena came up free with the goalie in the 95th minute, the Pedernal 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 Xefe Ochotorena couldn't finish the play. Xefe Ochotorena's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Bernad Cavallosa read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 98th minute of play.
