The 20000 fans in attendance at El Fortin were roasting in the hot sun.

The following players had been chosen: De Lupis - Franchini, Sclavo, Nardulli - Torras, Fort, Pergolini, Branto, Lukeš - Palavecino, Mandra.

Jah_Strength started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Leng Nie - Sánchez, Călin, Ugarte - Ruiz Díaz, Arcostro, Kishon, Czaban, Reinaldi - Connah, Lyudyno.

It was an obvious ambition of ricotero to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Today, Jah_Strength's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. After 20 minutes of play, J. Branto gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. A. Connah finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just past the home side's keeper, making the score 1 - 1 22 minutes into the match. Jah_Strength's A. Ugarte was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 23 minutes. Always quick on his feet, ricotero's M. Mandra sped down the field after 27 minutes, but his pass to L. Palavecino was just a bit too far ahead for him to get a good shot off. With 30 minutes played J. Branto almost gave the home side the lead with an unexpected free kick set up, but the visitors' L. Leng Nie was onto it, grabbing the would be breakthrough ball. A. Connah came close to putting the visiting team one up 34 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but A. De Lupis managed to tip the ball to a corner. ricotero fans held their breath as M. Lukeš scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! Halftime score was 2 - 1. ricotero had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

ricotero had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. After 52 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and A. Fort gave the ricotero supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 1. The sunny day didn't make things easy for B. Kishon who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. ricotero put themselves up 4 - 1 when A. Sclavo broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. A. Ugarte remonstrated furiously with the referee after Jah_Strength had another decision go against them. The referee had no alternative but to show him another yellow card and send him from the pitch. A. Sclavo enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. It was obvious that ricotero had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. ricotero's L. Palavecino increased the lead to 5 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 79 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of ricotero were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The coach of ricotero was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 80 minutes, C. Actis came on for A. Fort. L. Palavecino left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 80 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. L. Seelbinder was the replacement. ricotero enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

ricotero's top performer was clearly M. Lukeš. A. Sclavo was a disappointment, however. A. Lyudyno performed admirably for Jah_Strength. On the other hand, B. Kishon's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 1.
