Raimundo Lagala scored 0-1 in the 38th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ximen Lapenya, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 44 minutes had been played when some careless play by CD Rabija's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Ataulfo Maimo was slow to take the kick. During this time UD Soledad's players had a chance to rest. After taking down the ball on UD Soledad's corner Zosimo Baul fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Ximen Lapenya quite easily take care of the ball. After a rather tough play, CD Rabija's Yoel Queipo got a free kick in the 45th minute. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Urtsua Congey stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Urtsua Congey fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Klimowicz Pinto having to interfere. Klimowicz Pinto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Luzuriaga Cuenia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 64th match minute, CD Rabija was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jaramillo Setien to maneuver through the defense. Klimowicz Pinto made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Urtsua Congey in the 67th minute of play. 69 minutes into the match, UD Soledad's goal looked a bit too open when Jaramillo Setien came free, but Klimowicz Pinto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Luzuriaga Cuenia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jorge Persol hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Urtsua Congey in the 83rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Klimowicz Pinto prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 84th minute, Manuel Mori got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. CD Rabija's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Manuel Mori 88 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 0-2. When Manuel Mori came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the UD Soledad 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 Manuel Mori couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in CD Rabija's zone, Raimundo Lagala stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ximen Lapenya came out of the goal and Raimundo Lagala tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
