Karlos Matas had several of the REAL COLEGIO FC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 56 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-1 score and a disappointed Inautzi Monterroso as he didn't even see the shot coming. If Paulin Ubidea had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to REAL COLEGIO FC getting a freekick after 60 minutes play. Txatxu Graña hit a great ball.
