termales started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Rian - Magelli, Soupas, Certanini - Ilvesniemi, Blok, Raposo, Erskin, Konradi - Krzoski, Lacoste Vignalet.

The strategy for castillejos was to use their ability to press. It was an obvious ambition of termales to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 0 - 1 was the score with 12 minutes played, after J. Lacoste Vignalet cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for termales. E. Konradi's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. 16 minutes in, and castillejos were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when A. Pompe picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. J. Lacoste Vignalet of termales was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. At this time in the match, castillejos were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. G. Raposo sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from A. Erskin after 33 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 2. A. Soydinçer got a fingertip on J. Lacoste Vignalet's shot from the left 34 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

No matter how hard he tried, A. Pompe just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 55 minutes. The termales players could smell victory in the air. A. Krzoski wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for A. Vassileiadis after 60 minutes. castillejos were awarded a penalty with 62 minutes played, and A. Pompe made no mistake as he effortlessly slotted the equaliser home. 2 - 2. P. Pacheco wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. After 68 minutes, A. Pompe came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 3 - 2, giving castillejos the lead. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for A. Pompe. termales needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes G. Raposo made way for D. Pimenta. castillejos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

castillejos's top performer was clearly A. Pompe. P. Pacheco on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important termales player was J. Lacoste Vignalet. G. Rian was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
