Estadio Monsalvo
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Santiago Charro started the match with the kick off. 5 minutes into the match, Roberts's goalkeeper Mateo Rodas had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Justo Jaume. The audience thought a goal was coming when Justo Jaume got free with Mateo Rodas in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a defensive mix-up in Monsalvo's zone, Silverio Iratzeder stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Benigno Lonzo came out of the goal and Silverio Iratzeder tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Benigno Lonzo came out of the goal in the 25th minute to try and stop a shot by Roberts's Silverio Iratzeder. But to his dismay, Silverio Iratzeder quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Roberts's Mateo Rodas proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 33rd minute of the match, managed to save Roberts from getting a goal against them. In the 36th minute, one of Roberts: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 Roberts. In the 37th minute there was a penalty for Monsalvo. Basilio Txeru stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Mateo Rodas. 1-1. Honorio Ibar's late challenge caught a Monsalvo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Honorio Ibar helped the player get up and apologised. In the 44th minute, Honorio Ibar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Arnaldo Hunfredo was the one to do the kick off. Arnaldo Hunfredo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 51st minute. Benigno Lonzo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 53 minutes of play Monsalvo's Justino Sayveon was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. After 53 played minutes Monsalvo got a freekick which was hit by Justino Sayveon. Benigno Lonzo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arnaldo Hunfredo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Justo Jaume fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mateo Rodas having to interfere. If Teo Txeru had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
