Argider Candanedo charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Argider Candanedo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Gonzales Ascarza's late challenge caught a DeportiVO RACHO 1927's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

In the 22nd minute, Gines Pisciña ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Matteo Puredo was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Lizar Domaquia took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Argider Candanedo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Iigo Mauleon in the 27th minute of play forced EAGFC's goalkeeper Matteo Puredo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 28 minutes into the match, EAGFC's goal looked a bit too open when Fabian Villamil came free, but Matteo Puredo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
