Spectators: 153 (Terracing: 115, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Olli-Pekka Suoste made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute Sergio Txurio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Eugenio Gartxot saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Alberto Etxekopar managed to get in a good position for a shot. El ABUELO FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Alberto Etxekopar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eugenio Gartxot breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 7th minute, Agustin Nel got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 10 minutes into the match, Sergio Txurio dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Eugenio Gartxot, 1-0.

Eugenio Gartxot showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Diego Hori, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. When Diego Hori came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the El ABUELO FC fans jumped to their feet.

After a rather tough play, Papillon AC's Alexis Mac Allister got a free kick in the 31st minute. In the 32nd minute of the match Diego Hori shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Eugenio Gartxot showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. El ABUELO FC's Marciano Lertxun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Olli-Pekka Suoste in the 36th minute of play. 38 minutes into the game, Papillon AC's Milton Friedman nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

Sergio Txurio struck a weak shot in the 48th minute. Eugenio Gartxot didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for El ABUELO FC.
