In the 3rd minute, Chepe Sampil hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Antxoka Valerón managed to get in a good position for a shot. F.C.

With a little luck, Red Hawk Football Club's Anaya Sánchez got control of the ball when Joan Gallego tried to sneak it across the goal line. Joan Gallego was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 22nd minute. F.C.

If Dani Gallardo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fix Romero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Ramón Quiroga tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Antxoka Valerón who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 45thth minute tested the skills of Anaya Sánchez when he managed to save the team from getting behind.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Joan Gallego in the 51st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Anaya Sánchez saved Red Hawk Football Club from getting behind. Antxoka Valerón charged in rather forcefully in the 53rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

Tulio Villa scored 2-1 in the 64th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Anaya Sánchez, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 68th minute, Dani Gallardo 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. 70 minutes into the match, Red Hawk Football Club's goal looked a bit too open when Joan Gallego came free, but Anaya Sánchez reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
