In the 31st minute, Gutierrez Terron sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Carqueja's Hitzeder Varez didn't even have to move. After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Lope Villandiego managed to get in a good position for a shot. Carqueja's supporters rose to their feet, but Lope Villandiego was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
