-cuervo- saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Today, Levancia's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. After 17 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by -cuervo- was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. Levancia had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. 19 minutes into the game, P. Quiles finished off a Levancia left wing counterattack, making the score 0 - 1. S. Desguell of Levancia was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. M. Mendoza made one of his many fine passes from the wing into the middle 24 minutes into the match. G. Migeltorena bravely attempted to execute a diving header and the ball was met firmly with his forehead for -cuervo-. 1 - 1. -cuervo- were very close to putting themselves one up after 33 minutes as U. Chorén got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. -cuervo-'s G. Migeltorena was shown a yellow card after 36 minutes for slicing down an opponent. -cuervo-'s M. Mendoza tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. -cuervo-'s M. Daumal was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 39 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to -cuervo-, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

1 - 2 was the score with 59 minutes played, after R. Dutari cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Levancia. With the clock showing 65 minutes played, G. Migeltorena equalised for -cuervo- after curling a free kick around the defensive wall to make the score 2 - 2. A well placed corner kick from G. Migeltorena was followed by S. García de Lizasaín's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for -cuervo-, the score now 3 - 2. A lot of people in the terraces claimed the penalty resulting in Levancia's P. Quiles equaliser for 3 - 3 was a mistake by the referee. He did, however, have a very good view of the situation from his position. J. Ordóñez really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by M. Mendoza after a corner. -cuervo- had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

J. Ordóñez performed admirably for -cuervo-. L. Acker turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Levancia player was J. Picazo García. G. Mihaylov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 3.
