Today, Ataletico's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The wings were the focus of most of Castello's attacks today. Castello's counterattacks created a good chance for W. Haugk on the right after 9 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Ataletico were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Ataletico, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Ataletico were very close to putting themselves one up after 20 minutes as G. Mugnai got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. The referee showed Castello's W. Haugk the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Ataletico were forced into a substitution as Q. Rodrigues couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing I. Mulţescu to come in off the bench. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Ataletico claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave R. Manzano from Castello a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 62 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! H. Danzmann behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 77 minutes as he gave the ball away to L. Standfest. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Possession in this half belonged to Ataletico, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

Ataletico's top performer was clearly G. Verini. R. Skrok turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Castello player was without a doubt C. Hollis. On the other hand, G. Brugière's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 0.
