The visiting H. Falkenmo was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 8 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave T. de Sá from Artesanos a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 25 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! With 30 minutes gone, Artesanos had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, D. Fazzone did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. With 33 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Artesanos resulted in a counterattack that set T. Genkov free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. 34 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as H. Falkenmo finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. maestro210 refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle, R. Metcalfe managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 2. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. maestro210 had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

maestro210 needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 63 minutes T. Haversjö made way for J. Pasiego. maestro210's W. Tummeley put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 65 minutes, but the ball went wide. The coach of Artesanos was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, C. Maslin came on for H. Falkenmo. H. Fromont made a superb strike after 75 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. After 75 minutes, maestro210 switched A. Falch with J. Suriol, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. With the scoreboard showing that 81 minutes had been played, Artesanos nearly put themselves up another goal after T. Masnou came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. With 84 minutes having been played, maestro210 scored to make it 2 - 2. A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but R. Metcalfe was marked down as the scorer. maestro210 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

maestro210's best player was R. Metcalfe. On the other hand, J. Suriol's play was disheartening. The most dominating Artesanos player was without a doubt D. Duisterwinkel. However, T. Masnou made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 2.
