For their match strategy, albatalia had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. An opportunity to take the lead after 6 minutes was wasted as albatalia's O. Espinosa missed a penalty, firing wide of the mark. After 27 minutes, following yet another great corner, Ó. Bursuk's flick on at the near post reached J. Valiente Caballer, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. albatalia had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

M. Iskrzycki behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 87 minutes as he gave the ball away to M. Mihelčič. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. albatalia claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

P. Quevedo performed admirably for Pergola. On the other hand, L. Danielsson's play was disheartening. albatalia's best player was O. Espinosa. M. Iskrzycki turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
