Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Sivolviere FC's Rumaldo Llorden started the match with a crisp pass.

Guipuzkoa Camazon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Rumaldo Llorden in the 4th minute of the match. Ruben Morentin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Guipuzkoa Camazon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Gervaso Polanco made an important save on a dangerous shot by Theodore Alda in the 15th minute. After 18 played minutes, Tolima FC's Eduardo Arbulo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Gervaso Polanco 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 Tolima FC reached it. Rolando Vitores struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. Gervaso Polanco didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tolima FC. After 20 played minutes Sivolviere FC got a freekick which was hit by Silban Corbella. Theodore Alda recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 22nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 24 minutes, Quinto Bengoa mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tolima FC and the Sivolviere FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Tolima FC's Quinto Bengoa got a free kick in the 24th minute. Ruben Morentin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Guipuzkoa Camazon having to interfere. If Ruben Morentin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 44thth minute of the game Rolando Vitores who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Sivolviere FC's Gervaso Polanco was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Guipuzkoa Camazon made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ruben Morentin in the 45th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Tolima FC's Chaime Zubeldia got a free kick in the 47th minute. Rutenio Cuartas took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 49th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Guipuzkoa Camazon. Tolima FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Rolando Vitores stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The audience was convinced that Theodore Alda's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gervaso Polanco was relentless in the 55th minute of the game. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Silban Corbella during the 55th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 55th minute, Silban Corbella hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Quinto Bengoa was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 62 minutes had been played. After 62 played minutes Tolima FC got a freekick which was hit by Quinto Bengoa. 64 minutes into the match, Tolima FC's goalkeeper Guipuzkoa Camazon had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ruben Morentin. Theodore Alda fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gervaso Polanco having to interfere. Rogelio Ezguerra's late challenge caught a Tolima FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rogelio Ezguerra helped the player get up and apologised. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 68th minute of the game.

Guipuzkoa Camazon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Rumaldo Llorden came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Sivolviere FC 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 Rumaldo Llorden couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Tolima FC booed when Sivolviere FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Velasco Redonet didn't get a good kick on the ball. Guipuzkoa Camazon was out of position in the 84 minute of play, and Rumaldo Llorden capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Rumaldo Llorden really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. Rumaldo Llorden was extremely unlucky when he, in the 89th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Sivolviere FC were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
