Chuchro placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. 12 minutes into the match, Tilos's E.

The effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score at 1 - 1. 23 minutes in, mecanicos's A. Maestre España received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. J. Vergara of Tilos had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. N. Hansson came in to finish the match. A counterattack by mecanicos after 29 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but D. Adelaar, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Tilos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

mecanicos's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 57 minutes gone, but E. Dannat's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. Tilos had a good opportunity to take the lead as S. Ormaondo came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of S. Florentsen. Possession in this half belonged to Tilos, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.

After the regular 90 minutes, the agony of extra time followed. Tilos took the lead 93 minutes in, as S. Ormaondo broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. With that Tilos had won the game in extra time. Tilos's best player was M. Barišić. Y. Verstaen on the other hand, had a terrible day. mecanicos's top performer was clearly B. Marinache. S. Florentsen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
