Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Ponce Aller got the match started through his kick off. Gervaso Artadi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Flor Rejon, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. The audience was convinced that Ponce Aller's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aldomiro Andrade was relentless in the 7th minute of the game. Kaxen Vegas charged in rather forcefully in the 15th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Kaxen Vegas the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 16th minute there was a penalty for Kasichi FC. Tristan Arada stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Aldomiro Andrade. 0-1. Lekubegi Viramontez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
