Spectators: 7513 (Terracing: 5635, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ourente Barrieta took the kick off in the first half of the match. Chuan Bascal recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 11 minutes, Etxahun Brugos mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sahoa FC and the Táchira F.C players grew even worse after the yellow card. Lino Govantes made an important save on a dangerous shot by Txaran Manteca in the 13th minute. Txaran Manteca received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Lino Govantes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ourente Barrieta scored 1-0 in the 19th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Lino Govantes, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 22nd minute Etxahun Brugos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dominguez Orchua saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 25th minute, Txaran Manteca managed to get in a good position for a shot. Táchira F.C's supporters rose to their feet, but Txaran Manteca was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lino Govantes breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Eusko Olvera fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dominguez Orchua having to interfere. Etxahun Brugos struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Dominguez Orchua didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sahoa FC. After 36 minutes of play, Sahoa FC's Eusko Olvera made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Dominguez Orchua was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Ourente Barrieta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match had gone on for 45 minutes, Etxahun Brugos put it in 1-2 from a short distance just to the right of Dominguez Orchua. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Eusko Olvera to strike the kick off in the second half. Lino Govantes stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ourente Barrieta's shot from short distance in the 52nd minute. A collision led to Sahoa FC getting a freekick after 53 minutes play. Tristan Aumada hit a great ball. Txaran Manteca fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lino Govantes having to interfere. Txaran Manteca took the ball and in the 59 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Lino Govantes. Lino Govantes dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. Berbiz Rosio's late challenge caught a Sahoa FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Berbiz Rosio helped the player get up and apologised. Berbiz Rosio hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. Eusko Olvera received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute. Dominguez Orchua tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Eusko Olvera's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Dominguez Orchua was relentless in the 68th minute of the game. After 69 played minutes Táchira F.C got a freekick which was hit by Feo Cera. Dominguez Orchua showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eusko Olvera in the 72nd minute of the match. If Ourente Barrieta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
