The Orense F.C. fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Juan Maquiano should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Xaver Villacanes in the 33rd minute of play forced Orense F.C.'s goalkeeper Juan Maquiano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Jorge Melcon scored 0-5 in the 41st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Juan Maquiano, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 47 minutes into the match, Orense F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Armando Illescas came free, but Juan Maquiano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Rolando Agunaga showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Estrada Moreruela, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. When Estrada Moreruela came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the Orense F.C. 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 Estrada Moreruela couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Orense F.C.'s Estrada Moreruela got a free kick in the 66th minute.
