Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Iturri Oblanca kicked off to start the match.

After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Carlos Sans managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ovejaras's supporters rose to their feet, but Carlos Sans was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jerrold Alas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience was convinced that Carlos Sans's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jerrold Alas was relentless in the 13th minute of the game. In the 17th minute, Escalones's Iturri Oblanca ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Niguel Caceres. Niguel Caceres yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. Iturri Oblanca struck a weak shot in the 20th minute. Niguel Caceres didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Escalones. Bikendi Viniegra succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-1 in the 29th playminute. Bikendi Viniegra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Niguel Caceres having to interfere.

Jerrold Alas dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-3.
