Özer that made the score 1 - 0. laNena solidified their lead at the 20 minute mark, as S. Özer dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. laNena put themselves up 3 - 0 when T. Kouropoulos broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. T. Kouropoulos increased the lead for laNena to 4 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! At this point, it was obvious that the players of laNena lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to laNena, who controlled the ball 85 percent of the time.

With 54 minutes played, laNena put themselves up 5 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to J. Hornillos, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After 55 minutes, T. Kouropoulos put laNena ahead 6 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. This third goal completed a hattrick for T. Kouropoulos. The referee showed laNena's S. Özer the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Due to a severely mistimed tackle, E. Martínez Santa of YUSAR spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. After 62 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and H. Ammann gave the laNena supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 7 - 0. Coming from the right, M. Cobianchi almost managed to score another goal for laNena, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. 69 minutes in, YUSAR's E. Martínez Santa received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. laNena claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 86 percent.

Most important laNena player was T. Kouropoulos. V. Acavallo on the other hand, had a terrible day. YUSAR's top performer was clearly M. Correa. J. López Herrero turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 0.
