J. Risgaard gave the visitors the lead 18 minutes into the match to make it 0 - 1. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area. The crowd gasped as L. Moya of Machine was flattened by an opponent after 39 minutes and had to be carried off. J. Szirtesi came in off the bench. The home crowd cheered when, after 40 minutes, A. Alterno's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Machine had most of the ball, with 79 percent of possession.

After 53 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for R. Beltrán Villalva who increased Machine's lead to 0 - 2. rovinosTeam's E. Borbón was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 55 minutes. With 64 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, R. Sevilla needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from A. Alterno after 65 minutes, and prevented Machine from going up another goal. With 67 minutes played, Machine put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Szirtesi. G. Skovsen could have put his team up another goal 69 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Machine, with 76 percent of the ball.

Most important rovinosTeam player was A. Granados. B. Velázquez was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Machine player was without a doubt J. Kolkka. On the other hand, J. Szirtesi's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 3.
