Honorato Penilla hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. Anaya Ochari was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 7th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 8th minute, Cardoso AFC's Abel Gobantes dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. 18 minutes into the match, Cardoso AFC's Benedicto Andibidria sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lluques Sota narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Rolado Cuezba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bela Rescuro scored 1-1 in the 25th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jurdan Puertas, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
