Carlos Frascuelo started the match with the kick off. Mauricio Galtero sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Blas Rainerio kicked well hit freekick during the 7th minute of the match. Baltasar Millano scored 0-1 in the 11th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Adolfo Fernado, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Adolfo Fernado was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jaime Txema in the 36th minute of play forced Amelie FC's goalkeeper Adolfo Fernado to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Adolfo Fernado made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Carlos Frascuelo in the 37th minute of play. After some careless play in the Amelie FC defense, Jaime Txema kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Adolfo Fernado.

After a rather tough play, Amelie FC's Santos Checa got a free kick in the 42nd minute. After 43 minutes of play Amelie FC's Santos Checa was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Adolfo Fernado stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Carlos Frascuelo's shot from short distance in the 46th minute. In the 48th minute, Amelie FC's Pablo Oinatz seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Pablo Oinatz the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Amelie FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Pablo Oinatz had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Carlos Frascuelo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 50th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

When the match had gone on for 60 minutes, Cleto Estebano took a quick shot and it went in 0-6 without a chance for Adolfo Fernado to make any attempt to save it. If Mauricio Galtero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Baltasar Millano in the 70th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Adolfo Fernado saved Amelie FC from getting behind. After a rather tough play, 17 de enero team's Cleto Estebano got a free kick in the 72nd minute.

In the 76th minute of the match, Jaime Txema got a very nice opportunity to score, but Adolfo Fernado was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post.

When the final whistle sounded 17 de enero team left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Amelie FC.
