Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Aztore Artadi took the kick off in the first half of the match. Xian Sieira showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cebo Millares in the 10th minute of the match. With a little luck, Die Könige's Xian Sieira got control of the ball when Jairo Caras tried to sneak it across the goal line. Aztore Artadi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tulio Armendarez having to interfere. In the 16th match minute, Die Könige was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Nicanor Quintero to maneuver through the defense. The long shot by Rik Valiño in the 17th minute really tested Xian Sieira's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aztore Artadi in the 26th minute of play forced Matapalito's goalkeeper Tulio Armendarez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Birjaio Sancha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Tulio Armendarez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jairo Caras scored 1-1 in the 43rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Xian Sieira, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jairo Caras to strike the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the game, Cebo Millares cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Xian Sieira was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Jairo Caras fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Xian Sieira having to interfere. Birjaio Sancha's late challenge caught a Matapalito's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Birjaio Sancha helped the player get up and apologised. In the 60th minute, Birjaio Sancha hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Xian Sieira showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jairo Caras, who was totally free with the ball in the 64th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 69th minute, Aztore Artadi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Die Könige's supporters rose to their feet, but Aztore Artadi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tulio Armendarez breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cebo Millares hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. If Aztore Artadi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 81st match minute, Matapalito was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Domeka Ascarretazabal to maneuver through the defense. A hard shot by Jimeno Torrecilla from long distance, 82 minutes into the match, got Tulio Armendarez's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. The supporters of Die Könige booed when Matapalito was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jairo Caras didn't get a good kick on the ball. Birjaio Sancha fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tulio Armendarez having to interfere.
