Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Rodrigo Resto kicked off to start the match. In the 7th minute Rodrigo Resto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Intriago Mendieta saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Intriago Mendieta showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Rodrigo Resto in the 8th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Sabayan's zone, Urti Lomelin stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Reasco Merayo came out of the goal and Urti Lomelin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Sabayan's Reasco Merayo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 12th minute of the match, managed to save Sabayan from getting a goal against them. Ximeno Cerezuela took the ball and in the 14 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Intriago Mendieta. Intriago Mendieta dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After 19 played minutes Urti Lomelin rounded Sabayan's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-1. Rodrigo Falco who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 27thth minute tested the skills of Reasco Merayo when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The audience thought a goal was coming when Rodrigo Falco got free with Reasco Merayo in the 37th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Reasco Merayo came out of the goal in the 40th minute to try and stop a shot by UD Soledad's Rodrigo Falco. But to his dismay, Rodrigo Falco quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. 46 minutes into the game, Rodrigo Falco cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-1. Reasco Merayo was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-1 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Urti Lomelin to make the kick off. Jairo Euque shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Ximeno Cerezuela struck a weak shot in the 65th minute. Intriago Mendieta didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sabayan. Dennis Lacalle hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. Rodrigo Falco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 76 minutes into the match, Urti Lomelin notched a goal, 4-1, to the right of Sabayan's Reasco Merayo. Reasco Merayo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Rodrigo Falco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 82 minutes of play, UD Soledad's Urti Lomelin made it 5-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Reasco Merayo was left in no man's land by his defense there! An unexpectedly hard shot by Urti Lomelin in the 91st minute of play forced Sabayan's goalkeeper Reasco Merayo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Sabayan's Xzaver Cunyat got a free kick in the 97th minute. Rodrigo Falco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 98th minute. Reasco Merayo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. There was no doubt that UD Soledad were the better team. UD Soledad's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
