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. Lucio Solache started the match with the kick off. With 6 minutes on the clock, Adriano Monterros commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. After 5 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Vaquira! The referee gave Zaharital FC a penalty, 8 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Baraquiel Garriga, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Vaquira's Estebe Royo. 0-1. After a defensive mix-up in Vaquira's zone, Ieltxu Quetara stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Estebe Royo came out of the goal and Ieltxu Quetara tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Theobald Tavarez managed to get in a good position for a shot. Vaquira's supporters rose to their feet, but Theobald Tavarez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Iratzeder Quijano breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Estebe Royo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ieltxu Quetara, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Camerino Maujo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Estebe Royo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Theobald Tavarez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zaharital FC's Iratzeder Quijano proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 26th minute of the match, managed to save Zaharital FC from getting a goal against them. An unexpected shot in the 28th minute by Theobald Tavarez got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After 30 minutes of play, Zaharital FC's Camerino Maujo made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Ieltxu Quetara fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Estebe Royo having to interfere. Theobald Tavarez struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Iratzeder Quijano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Vaquira.

After having played for 61 minutes, Gian-Carlo Casias managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Vaquira's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gian-Carlo Casias was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Sarracino Ruicerezo hit a great ball. Zaharital FC's Montay Arripe was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Estebe Royo in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. A hard shot 97 in the game by Ieltxu Quetara from a close distance when the talented Estebe Royo managed to make a qualified save. Vaquira's players were relieved. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Zaharital FC had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
