Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Xepe Godan got the match started through his kick off. The throw-in from Modesto Jaunzuria in the 3rd minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Talleres de Escalada's Thibault Moon. An unexpectedly hard shot by Andrzej Zapolski in the 6th minute of play forced Talleres de Escalada's goalkeeper Serafin Bernal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A well-hit corner resulted in Andrzej Zapolski heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. After 14th play minutes Aurelio Mincho shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Serafin Bernal and just under the crossbar into goal. Serafin Bernal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Andrzej Zapolski in the 18th minute of the match. 19 minutes into the match, Talleres de Escalada's goal looked a bit too open when Aurelio Mincho came free, but Serafin Bernal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Estación Q.'s attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Virgilio Maraman in the 21st minute. The corner ended in Macit Serter almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Talleres de Escalada's Serafin Bernal did a great save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Xepe Godan in the 24th minute of play forced Estación Q.'s goalkeeper Arif Nihat Yıldıray to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 30th minute Estación Q. were awarded a corner. Virgilio Maraman went to the cornerflag to take it. Talleres de Escalada's Serafin Bernal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Andrzej Zapolski in the 43rd minute of play. Andrzej Zapolski scored 0-2 in the 47th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Serafin Bernal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

In the last second Serafin Bernal throw himself and got hold of the ball when Aurelio Mincho in the 59thth minute from his position got away a shot towards the right post. Estación Q.'s Modesto Jaunzuria quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Thibault Moon, made in the 60th minute of the game. 64 minutes into the match, Estación Q.'s goal looked a bit too open when Marcos Acuña came free, but Arif Nihat Yıldıray reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 65 minutes into the game, Remigio Feliu was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Talleres de Escalada's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Estación Q. the free kick. Remigio Feliu kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Serafin Bernal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Benicio Beliran, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. Arif Nihat Yıldıray came out of the goal in the 72nd minute to try and stop a shot by Talleres de Escalada's Xepe Godan. But to his dismay, Xepe Godan quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. If Benicio Beliran had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Talleres de Escalada's Serafin Bernal proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 77th minute of the match, managed to save Talleres de Escalada from getting a goal against them. 80 minutes into the game, Estación Q.'s Benicio Beliran nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Serafin Bernal made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-3. With an all-out effort, Estación Q.'s Serafin Bernal threw himself towards the right post 86 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Mauro Todor, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Serafin Bernal made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Benicio Beliran in the 90th minute of play. With his leg Serafin Bernal managed to avoid a goal in the 95thth minute, when Estación Q.'s Benicio Beliran fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The nice shot from Benicio Beliran in the 96thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Serafin Bernal had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mauro Todor in the 97th minute of play forced Talleres de Escalada's goalkeeper Serafin Bernal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 97 minutes in the game, Mauro Todor dribbled his way through the penalty area and after maneuvering past an opponent, drilled a quick shot at the goal. The ball looked like it was going in, but it was hit a bit too hard and flew over the goal. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Estación Q. eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
