For their match strategy, Canteras had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Torrido had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 2 minutes in when A. Bek came up alone against A. Noboa who managed a block. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Torrido's M. Soares after 9 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. After the ball was lifted in from the left, M. Soares was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 12 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. With the clock showing 14 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Canteras resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by J. Larraona in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Torrido had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

Good work by the Canteras defensive line after 51 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found P. Kurzaj alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. P. Valverde could have put his team up another goal 73 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. Canteras's counterattacks created a good chance for P. Kurzaj on the right after 74 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. The home crowd cheered when, after 81 minutes, X. Gendron's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Possession in this half belonged to Torrido, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

F. Prestía performed admirably for Canteras. On the other hand, A. Noboa's play was disheartening. Torrido's top performer was clearly A. Bek. However, A. Vert made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 1.
