Estadio Quiroga
Spectators: 6660 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1660, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Carlos Hernandez started the match with the kick off. If Raul Donostia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Marco Beltxe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nicasio Steven, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. In the 12th minute Alfredo Mannie suffered a knee injury and had to be helped off the field. Martin Fagondo charged in rather forcefully in the 12th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Martin Fagondo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 15 minutes into the match, Iker Ugaitz notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Portalis FC's Marco Beltxe. Marco Beltxe was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Hernan Balesio showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Carlos Hernandez in the 20th minute of the match. Raul Donostia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Hernan Balesio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 26 minutes into the game, Francisco Paulin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Portalis FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Quiroga AFC the free kick. After 26 played minutes Portalis FC got a freekick which was hit by Francisco Paulin. Marco Beltxe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nicasio Steven, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. Nicasio Steven sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Nicasio Steven's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Marco Beltxe was relentless in the 34th minute of the game. Quiroga AFC's Isidro Gizon got a good chance for a goal in the 35th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Hernan Balesio didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Carlos Hernandez went, in the 40th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. After 50 minutes of play, Portalis FC's Anastasio Gabon made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Hernan Balesio was left in no man's land by his defense there! The Quiroga AFC players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Portalis FC were winning 1-2.

The wind increased when Nicasio Steven made the kick off in the second half. Quiroga AFC were furious when Guido Blai was red carded, 61 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 64th minute there was a penalty for Portalis FC. Martin Fagondo stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Hernan Balesio. 1-3. Quiroga AFC's Hernan Balesio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Carlos Hernandez in the 68th minute of play. Portalis FC's Carlos Hernandez got a good chance for a goal in the 79th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Raul Donostia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 101st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hernan Balesio having to interfere.
