Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Sebastian Tomi kicked off to start the match. Albano Txordon came out of the goal in the 3rd minute to try and stop a shot by Palavecino's Albano Hechter. But to his dismay, Albano Hechter quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 8th minute Albano Hechter shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Albano Txordon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Vicente Leizarraga got free with Angel Kiliz in the 15th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 17 minutes into the match, Palavecino's Teobaldo Horado broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Emiliano Ritchie charged in rather forcefully in the 22nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Emiliano Ritchie the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 22 played minutes Cauchicol got a freekick which was hit by Emiliano Ritchie. Angel Kiliz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ernesto Fero, who was totally free with the ball in the 25th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ernesto Fero in the 30th minute of play forced Palavecino's goalkeeper Angel Kiliz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Palavecino's Angel Kiliz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ernesto Fero in the 34th minute of play. Vicente Maura took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 35th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Albano Txordon. Cauchicol's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Angel Kiliz made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ernesto Fero in the 38th minute. 1-1 became the score in the 47th minute when Ernesto Fero elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ernesto Fero to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 60th minute of the match Cauchicol got a corner. Palavecino's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Pascual Pabla ran over to the corner to take the kick. A well-hit corner resulted in Luciano Dorio heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. If Vicente Leizarraga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Angel Kiliz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vicente Leizarraga, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Sebastian Tomi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cauchicol's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Sebastian Tomi 90 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-2. Vicente Leizarraga fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Angel Kiliz having to interfere. Ernesto Fero's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Angel Kiliz read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 97th minute of play. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
