Spectators: 7208 (Terracing: 5408, Seating: 1657, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Aureliano Pudes made the kick off which started today's match. Ranchillos's Lorenzo Petri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aureliano Pudes in the 2nd minute of play. Lorenzo Petri didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Mariano Urbes went, in the 7th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Denis Lizer kicked well hit freekick during the 11th minute of the match. 19 minutes into the match, Blandengues's Mariano Urbes sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lorenzo Petri narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Eriberto Olentzaro's late challenge caught a Ranchillos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Eriberto Olentzaro helped the player get up and apologised. Hipolito Javiar made a fantastic save in the 28th minute, when Miguel Etxatxu sent off a good shot on target. When Zeledon Cloyo fell near the penalty area in the 29th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ranchillos's protests and gave Zeledon Cloyo a yellow card for diving instead. Silvano Frisco, 30 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. When the match clock showed 32 minutes, the score became 2-1 when Sixto Bartolome sped through Blandengues's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Hipolito Javiar. Lorenzo Petri showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mariano Urbes, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. If Aureliano Pudes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Blandengues's Mariano Urbes got a good chance for a goal in the 50th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Sixto Bartolome to strike the kick off in the second half. Silvano Frisco charged in rather forcefully in the 57th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Silvano Frisco the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 57th minute, one of Blandengues: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 Blandengues. After having played for 60 minutes, Miguel Etxatxu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ranchillos's supporters crossed their fingers, but Miguel Etxatxu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 63rd minute, Aureliano Pudes got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. When Aureliano Pudes came up free with the goalie in the 67th minute, the Blandengues 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 Aureliano Pudes couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aureliano Pudes in the 70th minute of play forced Ranchillos's goalkeeper Lorenzo Petri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Miguel Etxatxu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Hipolito Javiar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 78 minutes into the match, Mariano Urbes notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Ranchillos's Lorenzo Petri. Lorenzo Petri was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 81st minute, Denis Lizer hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 84 minutes, Marcos Quilo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ranchillos and the Blandengues players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 84th match minute, Ranchillos was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marcos Quilo to maneuver through the defense. 87 minutes into the match, Mariano Urbes had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lorenzo Petri. Ranchillos's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mariano Urbes was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-3. Blandengues were awarded a corner in the 92th minute after Ranchillos's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Silvano Frisco took the corner. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mariano Urbes got free with Lorenzo Petri in the 98th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Mariano Urbes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 100th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lorenzo Petri having to interfere.
