Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Romulo Lluis kicked off to start the match. Esteban Grabiel made an important save on a dangerous shot by Jacobo Madaleno in the 2nd minute. In the 4th minute Aquiles Ugutz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Faustino Fonso saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the DON RAMON 72 defense, Amadeo Hitzeder kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Esteban Grabiel. The DON RAMON 72 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Esteban Grabiel should have stopped the shot.

When Roberto Tohias came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the DON RAMON 72 fans jumped to their feet.
