Auliva had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Serradell - Stamsneijder, Allepuz, Siurana - Roine, Grandjean, Arizmendi, Toscano - Graells, Valpreda, Vaqué.

Mystery tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Auliva were relying on their ability to counter-attack. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 27 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from D. Epps, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Mystery's A. Rahi left the field after 31 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Andenna. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Mystery, with 62 percent of the ball.

After 46 minutes, Auliva switched A. Toscano with S. Zelina, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Mystery's C. Kaser had an excellent opportunity after 77 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Mystery solidified their lead at the 81 minute mark, as J. Cerdà dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. Auliva's P. Valpreda was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 83 minutes. 84 minutes into the match Mystery's A. Andenna viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. Auliva's J. Arizmendi had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 85 minutes having been played. D. Bujosa was the replacement. The Auliva captaincy was handed to T. Stamsneijder. Auliva reduced the deficit to 2 - 1 with a penalty placed perfectly beside the left post by P. Graells. Mystery claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

The most dominating Mystery player was without a doubt N. Pike. On the other hand, J. Cerdà's play was disheartening. Most important Auliva player was P. Graells. D. Bujosa was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
