Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Leo Aranzazu got the match started through his kick off. When the match clock showed 3 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Todor Samaniego sped through Echeverry's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Sidro Retortillo. After having played for 6 minutes, Todor Samaniego managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Guichon AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Todor Samaniego was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Guichon AFC getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Leonel Malpica hit a great ball. When Leo Aranzazu came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Guichon 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 Leo Aranzazu couldn't finish the play. After 11 minutes, Todor Samaniego made it 0-2 with a short kick to the right side. Echeverry's Sidro Retortillo tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Diegotxe Aldasoro charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Diegotxe Aldasoro the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Diegotxe Aldasoro hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Christobal Ovejas in the 18th minute of play forced Guichon AFC's goalkeeper Alesander Anduaga to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

After 42 minutes, Arnau Burriaga mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Guichon AFC and the Echeverry players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Guichon AFC's Arnau Burriaga got a free kick in the 43rd minute. Ted Vivanco might have been able to make a better finish in the 44th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Alesander Anduaga. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ted Vivanco ran back to his position shaking his head. 48 minutes into the match, Echeverry's goal looked a bit too open when Leo Aranzazu came free, but Sidro Retortillo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
