A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for oeee. Starters: Joli - Naranjo Villa, Matute, Cunchillos - Folguera, Carnero, Llebaria, Romero Pérez, Areny - Vilamala, Vasa.

oeee mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. S. Piñero of simpson4 seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by Ó. Torres Moreno. After 36 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after P. Areny made it through the middle and struck home to make it 1 - 1. oeee's C. Llebaria left the field after 43 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was E. Chicarro. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Caliens from simpson4 a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 43 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. simpson4 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

simpson4 created a good opportunity to score 50 minutes into the match when A. Znibar's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. 52 minutes in, oeee's E. Cunchillos received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. simpson4 had a chance to take the lead after J. Caliens's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 57 minutes. simpson4's S. Piñero was shown a yellow card after 63 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A late sliding challenge from J. Caliens was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and simpson4 left a man down. A loud groan was heard from the fans of oeee, as B. Carnero left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. J. Varjas took his place on the field. oeee took the lead 85 minutes into the game, making the score 1 - 2 after some elegant movement down the middle. P. Vilamala was the scorer. There was concern in the stands when, at the 88 minute mark, simpson4's F. Jorrín hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Possession in this half belonged to simpson4, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

Most important simpson4 player was F. Jorrín. P. Duch was a disappointment, however. oeee's top performer was clearly P. Vilamala. J. Varjas turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
