In the 51st minute, Valdense AFC's Benat Pumareto ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Isusko Escobar.

Vasco Gonzales struck a weak shot in the 62nd minute. Isusko Escobar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Valdense AFC.
