Estadio Tipococha
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Ismael Pereta got the match started through his kick off. After having played for 2 minutes, Checa Villaquilambre managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. UD Chanala's supporters crossed their fingers, but Checa Villaquilambre was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Checa Villaquilambre in the 7th minute of play forced Tipococha SC's goalkeeper Gonzalo Afonte to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 7 played minutes Tipococha SC got a freekick which was hit by Rogelio Salgueiro. Gonzalo Afonte showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hugo Matos, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. 12 minutes into the match, Checa Villaquilambre had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gonzalo Afonte. Tipococha SC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Checa Villaquilambre was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. If Ismael Pereta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 17th minute Coyette Avendaño suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. After 17 minutes, Peter Ucles mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the UD Chanala and the Tipococha SC players grew even worse after the yellow card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 21st minute of the game. One of Tipococha SC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of UD Chanala:s goal. After having played for 28 minutes, Peter Ucles managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. UD Chanala's supporters crossed their fingers, but Peter Ucles was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in UD Chanala's zone, Xusto Bricianos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jaime Barbadillo came out of the goal and Xusto Bricianos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpected shot in the 33rd minute by Ismael Pereta got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Vergaray Montez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Jaime Barbadillo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Vergaray Montez managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tipococha SC's supporters rose to their feet, but Vergaray Montez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jaime Barbadillo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Gonzalo Afonte showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hugo Matos in the 44th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Checa Villaquilambre to make the kick off. After a rather tough play, Tipococha SC's Yiyo Almazan got a free kick in the 55th minute. 64 minutes into the game, Tipococha SC's Vergaray Montez nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Jaime Barbadillo made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. Ismael Pereta lost his temper 69 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 69th minute, one of Tipococha SC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Tipococha SC. In the 77th minute, Hugo Matos fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Gonzalo Afonte, passed just outside the right post. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Vergaray Montez during the 77th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 78th minute, Vergaray Montez hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 80th minute, Xusto Bricianos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The attack was good, but when Hugo Matos in the 81st minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. 88 minutes into the match, Tipococha SC's goal looked a bit too open when Checa Villaquilambre came free, but Gonzalo Afonte reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With an all-out effort, UD Chanala's Gonzalo Afonte threw himself towards the right post 93 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Checa Villaquilambre, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After 95 played minutes UD Chanala got a freekick which was hit by Peter Ucles. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. UD Chanala walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
