In the 14thth minute of the game Zenaido Feliu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Subibaja's Marcos Berberana was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Zenaido Feliu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Salucota's Erwin Bidania played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Francisco Marquez in the 21st minute of play.

Xalbador Soto didn't get a good kick on the ball. 30 minutes into the match, Subibaja's Xizavier Garro sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Erwin Bidania narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Subibaja's Xizavier Garro in the 32nd minute got a chance for a shot 32nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Salucota's goalie prevented a goal. 38 minutes into the match, Subibaja's goal looked a bit too open when Zenaido Feliu came free, but Marcos Berberana reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Salucota's zone, Francisco Marquez stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Erwin Bidania came out of the goal and Francisco Marquez tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Subibaja's Frutos Estremiana got a free kick in the 44th minute. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Zenaido Feliu stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

Erwin Bidania tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 62 minutes into the match, Subibaja's goal looked a bit too open when Zenaido Feliu came free, but Marcos Berberana reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

David Irabien kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. Zenaido Feliu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcos Berberana having to interfere. When Jácome Paniagua came up free with the goalie in the 94th minute, the Salucota 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 Jácome Paniagua couldn't finish the play. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Subibaja eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
