Arache
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Quique Proenza kicked off to start the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Quique Proenza in the 3rd minute of play forced Arache's goalkeeper Estevez Langayo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 4 played minutes Arache got a freekick which was hit by Silban Verganza. In the 6th minute, Gauargi Salazar made a precise shot to the right of Estevez Langayo. Arache's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. 10 minutes into the match, Tacasaluma's goal looked a bit too open when Hipolito Liquiñano came free, but Harri Ansola reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 11 minutes Tacasaluma's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Nicodemo Landeribar who took care of the corner kick. The corner ended in Nicodemo Landeribar almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Tacasaluma's Harri Ansola did a great save. In the 14th minute, one of Tacasaluma:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Tacasaluma. Harri Ansola went to the wrong direction when Nicodemo Landeribar was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. The audience was convinced that Orlandus Rozano's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Harri Ansola was relentless in the 18th minute of the game. In the 23rd minute Gauargi Salazar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Estevez Langayo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Quique Proenza came up free with the goalie in the 27th minute, the Tacasaluma 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 Quique Proenza couldn't finish the play. Gauargi Salazar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Tacasaluma's Quique Proenza got a good chance for a goal in the 36th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Hipolito Liquiñano to strike the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Orlandus Rozano in the 52nd minute of play forced Tacasaluma's goalkeeper Harri Ansola to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the match clock showed 53 minutes, the score became 1-3 when Hipolito Liquiñano sped through Tacasaluma's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Harri Ansola. 57 minutes into the match, Hipolito Liquiñano had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Harri Ansola. Tacasaluma's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hipolito Liquiñano was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-3. After having played for 64 minutes, Gauargi Salazar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tacasaluma's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gauargi Salazar was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Hipolito Liquiñano recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 66th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Quique Proenza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Estevez Langayo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Quique Proenza in the 76th minute of play. Estevez Langayo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Quique Proenza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Estevez Langayo made an important save on a dangerous shot by Gauargi Salazar in the 89th minute. Humberto Varioz hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. With an all-out effort, Tacasaluma's Estevez Langayo threw himself towards the right post 90 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Quique Proenza, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Harri Ansola showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Orlandus Rozano, who was totally free with the ball in the 92nd minute. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Tacasaluma had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
