It was an obvious ambition of grindyourmother to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 25 minutes into the match, and J. Queen wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. A penalty was awarded after 32 minutes, and C. Marañón made the most of his chance to put Belluto up by another goal. 0 - 2 for the visitors. There was concern in the stands when, at the 42 minute mark, Belluto's C. Lozano hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. A drive down the left side allowed G. Bilan to get in close and score another goal for Belluto after 44 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of Belluto were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. T. Åhlblom of Belluto seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 0 - 4 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by C. Marañón. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Belluto enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

S. Milone acted foolishly after 57 minutes, giving the ball up to Belluto's F. Salvadó who had no trouble finding the back of the net. 0 - 5. grindyourmother reduced the lead to 1 - 5 with 65 minutes on the clock when D. Dardari got the best of a ball floated in from the left. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, C. Marañón would have put Belluto up another goal 84 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The home crowd cheered when, after 88 minutes, K. Erlendsson's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. 89 minutes in, Belluto's C. Marañón received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Belluto, with 63 percent of the ball.

grindyourmother's top performer was clearly U. Vecchio. J. Catanha turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Belluto player was without a doubt G. Bilan. However, C. Lozano made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 5.
