Today, Tacuense's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Razors clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but V. Mijatović showed great heart and had a good game. It was obvious that Tacuense had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. With 13 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as J. Van Steenberge flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. After 22 minutes, Tacuense's S. Cecchinato found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 2 - 0. By now, the players in Tacuense felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A great save by keeper G. Malo after 25 minutes kept the visitors in the game after E. García Peñuela struck from the left with a real cannonball. G. Miqaelyan spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. C. Egelmeers could have put Tacuense up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 29 minutes. Tacuense put themselves up 3 - 0 when J. Van Steenberge broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Tacuense, who controlled the ball 91 percent of the time.

After 51 minutes, D. Mar Díaz put Tacuense ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Tacuense were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Tacuense to 5 - 0 as N. Correia finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Tacuense's N. Correia increased the lead to 6 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 71 minutes. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Tacuense, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. After 76 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and J. Van Steenberge gave the Tacuense supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 7 - 0. At that, J. Van Steenberge was noted down for a hat trick! Tacuense managed to extend their lead to 8 - 0 when N. Correia cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. That made three goals for N. Correia and he was marked down for the hat trick. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Tacuense, with 91 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Tacuense player was without a doubt R. Fernández Romero. R. Campañó was a disappointment, however. Razors's top performer was clearly A. Efremov. É. Grosjean on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 8 - 0.
