ChutaBolas took the lead 11 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. M. Gatter was the scorer. T. Hakker increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. After 26 minutes, ChutaBolas raised their score by one when M. Gatter's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by C. Alonso Soto. 0 - 3. After 33 minutes, ChutaBolas's D. Caprara burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. After 38 minutes, ChutaBolas's S. MacKenzie burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 5. The players of ChutaBolas now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Pity`s had a brilliant opportunity to reply as P. Lin received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only C. Buret's reflexes saved him. K. Vammen of ChutaBolas was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Halftime score was 0 - 5. ChutaBolas had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

After 53 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for V. Atienza who increased ChutaBolas's lead to 0 - 6. K. Vammen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 63 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 7. The ChutaBolas fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. With 68 minutes played, K. Vammen nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. ChutaBolas enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

Pity`s's top performer was clearly J. Thorbeck. However, P. Lin made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating ChutaBolas player was without a doubt V. Atienza. C. Alonso Soto on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 7.
