Hualtaco
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Insua Martioda kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in UD Hualtaco's zone, Xan Tejeria stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Delgado Casoliva came out of the goal and Xan Tejeria tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. UD Hualtaco's Jairo Herrera got a good chance for a goal in the 12th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 14th minute Insua Martioda shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Xamin Larrauri saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Paiva Merida's late challenge caught a Isavieja's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Paiva Merida helped the player get up and apologised. If Octavio Ibias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When the match had gone on for 18 minutes, Jairo Herrera took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Xamin Larrauri to make any attempt to save it. With his leg Xamin Larrauri managed to avoid a goal in the 23rdth minute, when UD Hualtaco's Jairo Herrera fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. With 28 minutes on the clock, Jairo Ruelas commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 27th minute of the game. One of UD Hualtaco:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Isavieja:s goal. After 33 minutes of play, UD Hualtaco's Jairo Herrera made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Xamin Larrauri was left in no man's land by his defense there! When the match clock showed 37 minutes, the score became 2-2 when Rodriguez Marcello sped through UD Hualtaco's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Delgado Casoliva. 47 minutes into the match, Jairo Herrera notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of Isavieja's Xamin Larrauri. Xamin Larrauri was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

The wind increased when Rodriguez Marcello made the kick off in the second half. 55 minutes into the match, UD Hualtaco's goalkeeper Delgado Casoliva had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Octavio Ibias.

Delgado Casoliva made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rodriguez Marcello in the 67th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Rodriguez Marcello in the 70th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Delgado Casoliva saved UD Hualtaco from getting behind. 71 minutes into the match, Isavieja's Octavio Ibias sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Delgado Casoliva narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Octavio Ibias might have been able to make a better finish in the 73rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Delgado Casoliva. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Octavio Ibias ran back to his position shaking his head. Isavieja's Rodriguez Marcello got a good chance for a goal in the 74th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

Jairo Herrera's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Xamin Larrauri read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 82nd minute of play. Xamin Larrauri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jairo Herrera, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Through an outstanding action, after 90 minutes, Delgado Casoliva successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Jairo Herrera received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Xamin Larrauri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
