S.D.Fenix had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Duée - Chajdiak, Cirelluelo, Iliberri - Tessaro, Triêu, Bugajny, Oškinis, Niedermair - Folden, Recão.

Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 26 minutes into the match left S.D.Fenix's B. Folden completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 31 minutes S.D.Fenix tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, A. Iliberri's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. After 34 minutes, N. Ömür made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. As the clock reached 43 minutes, S.D.Fenix decided to regroup. M. Bugajny gave B. Folden a little pat on the back as they changed positions on the pitch. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Fuengirola, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

After 47 minutes, S.D.Fenix put themselves up 1 - 2, as E. Tessaro finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. M. Bugajny left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 48 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. C. Bienvenu was the replacement. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, N. Ömür got himself booked. The manager of Fuengirola was not happy. Fuengirola were awarded a penalty with 53 minutes played, and O. Tzavelas made no mistake as he effortlessly slotted the equaliser home. 2 - 2. S.D.Fenix's goal to make the score 2 - 3 came via a questionable penalty, but M. Niedermair struck it home without a second thought. The coach of S.D.Fenix was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes, F. Bankhas came on for M. Niedermair. A tussle 82 minutes into the match resulted in a penalty being awarded to the home team and O. Tzavelas put the ball into the back of the net without any difficulty. That tied the score up at 3 - 3. Fuengirola enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

Fuengirola's best player was F. Brandtner. On the other hand, B. Compagnoni's play was disheartening. C. Bienvenu performed admirably for S.D.Fenix. F. Bankhas on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 3.
