Txartiko Querijazu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anacleto Pereta having to interfere. Ximen Bengochea struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Anacleto Pereta didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Manglarito. If Txartiko Querijazu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After a defensive mix-up in Canoa's zone, Txartiko Querijazu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Anacleto Pereta came out and tried to block the shot, but Ximen Bengochea slotted it home off the left post making it 0-2 in the 86th minute. With an all-out effort, Manglarito's Anacleto Pereta threw himself towards the right post 95 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Txartiko Querijazu, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.
