Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Argenis Masses started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Argenis Masses managed to get in a good position for a shot. Horqueta AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Argenis Masses was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Perrando Sobron breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sergio Marroquin in the 14th minute of play forced Horqueta AFC's goalkeeper Atarrabi Lamadrid to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Perrando Sobron made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Argenis Masses in the 16th minute of play. The referee gave Candil a penalty, 21 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Transito Torralbo, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Horqueta AFC's Atarrabi Lamadrid. 0-1. Perrando Estrada struck a weak shot in the 27th minute. Atarrabi Lamadrid didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Candil. Perrando Estrada received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Atarrabi Lamadrid tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Eustaquio Almodovar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sergio Marroquin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Perrando Estrada to make the kick off. 53 minutes into the match, Candil's Sergio Marroquin sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Atarrabi Lamadrid narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Perrando Estrada blasted a shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Atarrabi Lamadrid having to make a save. Sergio Marroquin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Eustaquio Almodovar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Perrando Sobron tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 65 minutes into the match, Horqueta AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Perrando Estrada came free, but Atarrabi Lamadrid reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Horqueta AFC's Atarrabi Lamadrid played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Perrando Estrada in the 67th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Horqueta AFC's Crescencio Tielve got a free kick in the 68th minute. 68 minutes into the match, Horqueta AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Perrando Estrada came free, but Atarrabi Lamadrid reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Perrando Estrada might have been able to make a better finish in the 71st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Atarrabi Lamadrid. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Perrando Estrada ran back to his position shaking his head. Eustaquio Almodovar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Perrando Sobron having to interfere. Sotero Rivacoba's late challenge caught a Horqueta AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sotero Rivacoba helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Horqueta AFC booed when Candil was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sotero Rivacoba didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Sotero Rivacoba was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 77 minutes had been played. In the 79th minute, Zenon Bustio 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. Sergio Marroquin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 92nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Eustaquio Almodovar came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the Horqueta AFC 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 Eustaquio Almodovar couldn't finish the play. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
