Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) 3 minutes into the match, Martinote's goalkeeper Foro Isasi had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Noe Pacio. In the 5th minute, Roegelio Ardines hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 7th minute Ignazio Fuentes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lucado Noguera saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 10 minutes, Rocio Canal managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Itapebi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rocio Canal was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 12 minutes into the match, Itapebi's Noe Pacio sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Foro Isasi narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Foro Isasi was a little too slow when Noe Pacio got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 12th minute. The score was now 1-0. Thanks to some nice moves Noe Pacio could shoot a difficult shot in the 16th minute, which Foro Isasi however easily saved by the left post. Foro Isasi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rocio Canal, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute. Cesario Recino kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. If Garcia Argüello had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ignazio Fuentes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Rocio Canal made a kick off. Rocio Canal scored 2-0 in the 55th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Foro Isasi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Foro Isasi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Noe Pacio in the 60th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Noe Pacio in the 63rd minute of play forced Martinote's goalkeeper Foro Isasi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Rocio Canal struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Foro Isasi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Itapebi. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Noe Pacio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Itapebi's supporters rose to their feet, but Noe Pacio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Foro Isasi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Foro Isasi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rocio Canal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Noe Pacio might have been able to make a better finish in the 76th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Foro Isasi. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Noe Pacio ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 77th match minute, Martinote was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Garcia Argüello to maneuver through the defense. After a defensive mix-up in Martinote's zone, Rocio Canal stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Foro Isasi came out of the goal and Rocio Canal tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 80th minute, Garcia Argüello hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Lucado Noguera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Yiyo Zurita in the 83rd minute of the match. In the 84th minute, Severino Yturrondo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Yiyo Zurita came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Martinote 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 Yiyo Zurita couldn't finish the play. Noe Pacio blasted a shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Foro Isasi having to make a save. Cesario Recino hit a great freekick 94 minutes into the match. After 95 played minutes, Martinote's Eustaquio Elguea shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Lucado Noguera came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Martinote reached it. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Itapebi fans cheered their team off the field, for while Martinote had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
