Spectators: 205 (Terracing: 154, Seating: 47, VIP seats: 4) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Llorienzo Palacios made the kick off which started today's match. When the match had gone on for 4 minutes, Pacho Mondejar put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Isac Dias. 7 minutes into the match, GD Almargense's goal looked a bit too open when Llorienzo Palacios came free, but Isac Dias reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Isac Dias showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Pacho Mondejar in the 9th minute of the match. The supporters of GD Almargense booed when Salud y República was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Archibaldo Ecija didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 16 minutes, Sérgio Flores mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the GD Almargense and the Salud y República players grew even worse after the yellow card. Sérgio Flores kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. Pacho Mondejar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Isac Dias read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 22nd minute of play. After 24 minutes GD Almargense's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Juan Dominguez who took care of the corner kick. Salud y República's Juan Dominguez was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Isac Dias in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. After 31 minutes of play, Salud y República's Pacho Mondejar made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Isac Dias was left in no man's land by his defense there! 34 minutes into the match, Salud y República's Pacho Mondejar sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Isac Dias narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Micael Torcato recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 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.

GD Almargense made a substitution. Ricardo Cabral replaced Micael Torcato. Alvino Galnares showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Leandro Soeiro, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. Llorienzo Palacios's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Isac Dias firmly grabbed it by the left post. If Pacho Mondejar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. During the 71st minute of the match Sérgio Flores completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Sérgio Flores a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Ricardo Cabral sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 76th minute Tarcísio Diegues shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alvino Galnares saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 80 minutes into the match, Salud y República's goal looked a bit too open when Ricardo Cabral came free, but Alvino Galnares reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Abdika Borbon hit a great freekick 84 minutes into the match. In the 88th minute, Ricardo Cabral ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Alvino Galnares was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-3. The GD Almargense manager could be seen shouting at his players as they walked down the tunnel after the match. He was clearly angry that they had squandered their superior possession, allowing Salud y República to win.
