The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After a rather tough play, Artigas's Favila Tavera got a free kick in the 8th minute. Joanes Mateos was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 9th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 16 minutes into the match, Buricayupi's goal looked a bit too open when Henrico Paratorrecilla came free, but Leo Bajo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Jonas Peñin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Artigas's Fidencio Palou got control of the ball when Remir Atilano tried to sneak it across the goal line.

In the 69thth minute of the game Eztebe Somalo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Artigas's Fidencio Palou was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.
