The wings were the focus of most of Godinez's attacks today. 0 - 1 was the score with 21 minutes played, after A. González Arguimanes cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for xicodieguino. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 23 minutes, xicodieguino did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, T. Arnedo was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 2. L. Fouillioux of Godinez was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. A lack of experience caused E. De la Presa to make a difficult dribble close to dangerous opponent D. Tupper of Godinez, who took the opportunity to score making it 1 - 2. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 37 minutes into the match, an alert S. Balog bagged the ball for Godinez, levelling the score to 2 - 2. The Godinez free kick 39 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of D. Vitali, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 3 - 2! It was 3 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Godinez, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

The visitors were awarded a penalty by the referee 64 minutes into the match, much to the anger of the home crowd. Á. Urquieta took advantage of the situation and scored to make it 3 - 3. One of many good crosses from T. Arnedo on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by M. Zambón, who scored for xicodieguino. 3 - 4 The Godinez coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Godinez, with 64 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Godinez player was without a doubt L. Fouillioux. On the other hand, P. Leizagoyen's play was disheartening. xicodieguino's best player was Á. Villalón. J. Buitron turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 4.
