Spectators: 7752 (Terracing: 5750, Seating: 1852, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Manolito Caminero made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute, Manolito Caminero made a precise shot to the right of Lope Mangas. ESPEIN 2011's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 7th minute, Beila Font managed to get in a good position for a shot. CF Mendia's supporters rose to their feet, but Beila Font was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lope Mangas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Silvano De la Rosa made in the 13th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Paul Castelao immediately put the ball in play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Manolito Caminero in the 15th minute of play forced ESPEIN 2011's goalkeeper Lope Mangas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 16th minute, Beila Font left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The CF Mendia fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. Lope Mangas showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Karlo Jaraba, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. In the 22ndth minute of the game Manolito Caminero who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but ESPEIN 2011's Lope Mangas was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Xurdin Santalla during the 23rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Xurdin Santalla hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. In the 25th minute Niva Odín shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lope Mangas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Baldemar Escobar came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the ESPEIN 2011 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 Baldemar Escobar couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Manolito Caminero in the 33rd minute of play forced ESPEIN 2011's goalkeeper Lope Mangas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 39th minute Manolito Caminero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lope Mangas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Beila Font in the 42nd minute of play forced ESPEIN 2011's goalkeeper Lope Mangas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Niva Odín fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lope Mangas having to interfere. If Manolito Caminero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Baldemar Escobar made a kick off. 52 minutes into the match, CF Mendia's Niva Odín sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lope Mangas narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Lope Mangas was a little too slow when Manolito Caminero got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 57th minute. The score was now 0-4. After having played for 59 minutes, Niva Odín managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. CF Mendia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Niva Odín was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 64 minutes into the match, ESPEIN 2011's goal looked a bit too open when Manolito Caminero came free, but Lope Mangas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. CF Mendia made a substitution. Bras Abascal replaced Manolito Caminero. In the 70th minute Bras Abascal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lope Mangas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. ESPEIN 2011's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Bras Abascal 72 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 0-5. If Beila Font had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Xurdin Santalla made in the 83rd minute of the game a quick throw-in and Paul Castelao immediately put the ball in play. In the 86th minute, Bras Abascal reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Lope Mangas. The goal made the score 0-7.
