Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Santiago Gamez started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Sidoro Folguera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Louis Nuño in the 3rd minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Santiago Gamez's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Macerio Basozabal was relentless in the 8th minute of the game. After a rather tough play, Laureles FC's Aitor Cagide got a free kick in the 8th minute. A collision led to Buscatera FC getting a freekick after 11 minutes play. Santiago Gamez hit a great ball. Sesuldo Balaguer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sidoro Folguera having to interfere. In the 19th minute the ball was on its way in behind Laureles FC's goalkeeper Macerio Basozabal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Laureles FC's Louis Nuño got a good chance for a goal in the 23rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Santiago Gamez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 35th minute, Santiago Gamez ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Macerio Basozabal was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. 40 minutes into the match, Gil Francos had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Macerio Basozabal. Laureles FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gil Francos was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Sesuldo Balaguer succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-2 in the 44th playminute. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Louis Nuño to strike the kick off in the second half. The audience thought a goal was coming when Gil Francos got free with Macerio Basozabal in the 56th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Thanks to some nice moves Gil Francos could shoot a difficult shot in the 58th minute, which Macerio Basozabal however easily saved by the left post. Gil Francos took the ball and in the 62 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Macerio Basozabal. Macerio Basozabal dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-3. The audience was convinced that Santiago Gamez's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Macerio Basozabal was relentless in the 66th minute of the game. If Louis Nuño had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Louis Nuño struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Sidoro Folguera didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Laureles FC. Macerio Basozabal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Santiago Gamez, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. In the 77th minute Santiago Gamez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Macerio Basozabal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The attack was good, but when Gil Francos in the 82nd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Rudolfo Zaldain hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. In the 91st minute Santiago Gamez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Macerio Basozabal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 97 minutes of play, Laureles FC's Baiardo Represa made it 2-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sidoro Folguera was left in no man's land by his defense there! Buscatera FC's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
