Etor Huguet made an important save on a dangerous shot by Madeo Lastras in the 4th minute. Hinojales CF's Etor Huguet played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Henric Garate in the 6th minute of play. Nando Canal kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. After 19 minutes, Niva Arratia made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Arrayanes AFC's Lolo Guerrero tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 24 minutes into the match, Arrayanes AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Saturnin Ecija came free, but Lolo Guerrero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Niva Arratia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 34 minutes, Niva Arratia managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Peli Serra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lolo Guerrero having to interfere. After 39 played minutes, Hinojales CF's Yiyo Lorenzo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Lolo Guerrero came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Hinojales CF reached it. Madeo Lastras sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With an all-out effort, Arrayanes AFC's Etor Huguet threw himself towards the right post 43 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Matia Nunez, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Thanks to some nice moves Madeo Lastras could shoot a difficult shot in the 44th minute, which Etor Huguet however easily saved by the left post. Peli Serra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lolo Guerrero having to interfere. After the first half Hinojales CF were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Henric Garate made the kick off in the second half. Falo Gómez kicked well hit freekick during the 53rd minute of the match. When Niva Arratia came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Hinojales CF 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 Niva Arratia couldn't finish the play. Saturnin Ecija received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Lolo Guerrero tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Peli Serra struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Lolo Guerrero didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hinojales CF. 72 minutes into the game, Niva Arratia recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Lolo Guerrero.
