Ruddington had a chance to take the lead after P. Sáenz Camacho's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 33 minutes. Ruddington's M. Gherman left the field after 38 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was K. Paksoy. With 39 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as G. Sorce flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. 40 minutes into the match, the technically gifted M. Beye of Ruddington scored 2 - 0, having made J. Berzal look like a complete fool. J. Bru increased the lead for Ruddington to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! K. Paksoy unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave E. Izubejeres from yorch a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 43 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Ruddington enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

The yorch coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the yorch manager used a brief break in play after 60 minutes to give the players new directives. With 65 minutes played, the yorch coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. R. Cariaco came on, C. Kullenkvist had to leave the fray. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, J. Ljungblom took over the role of being the yorch captain. A great save by keeper A. Larsson after 65 minutes kept the visitors in the game after P. Sáenz Camacho struck from the left with a real cannonball. After 66 minutes Ruddington's C. Pimentel contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. 71 minutes into the match, M. Beye could have extended the lead, but his powerful free kick went just over the bar. 78 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Beye broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for Ruddington. Confident in their lead, Ruddington's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Possession in this half belonged to Ruddington, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

The most dominating Ruddington player was without a doubt P. Hermunen. K. Paksoy turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important yorch player was A. Anysio. However, M. Mörnsten made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
