toxicianos decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Delafosse - Izubejeres, Latvala, Bellorini - Mackenney, Dioayuda, Pimenta, Sanz, Heusweiler - Singh, Birkelund.

Brasatto's V. de Biescas tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. toxicianos's D. Sanz was shown a yellow card after 23 minutes for slicing down an opponent. J. Birkelund was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was beautifully flicked on by R. Izubejeres, but the ball bounced off the post to safety. D. Valero did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 40 minutes into the match left toxicianos's J. Dioayuda completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Mackenney from toxicianos a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 41 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The player down was V. de Biescas. The Brasatto bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. A crazy pass by O. Slovatik towards his own keeper almost caused a goal for toxicianos, but F. Heusweiler didn't get the finish right. F. Abelló was called on to replace Brasatto's R. Jiménez after 44 minutes following a nasty collision. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Brasatto, with 53 percent of the ball.

C. Singh received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 49 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The toxicianos fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The bench was restless, and with 50 minutes passed Brasatto's coach gave A. Torres Cabrera the opportunity the player had been hoping for. B. Escourido reluctantly left the field. The Brasatto coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. One of many good crosses from J. Mackenney on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by C. Singh, who scored for toxicianos. 0 - 3 By now, the players in toxicianos felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. As the game started to slip away for Brasatto, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. toxicianos's C. Singh got himself booked for a foul. E. Mitjans challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 66 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 72 minutes into the match, putting toxicianos ahead 0 - 4. J. Dioayuda was the scorer. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Brasatto's D. Valero was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 80 minutes. D. Minckwitz was given a chance to change things around. Brasatto claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Most important Brasatto player was E. Mitjans. D. Minckwitz was a disappointment, however. toxicianos's best player was J. Birkelund. F. Heusweiler turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
