slann had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players took the field: Münich - Campanale, Carta, Galante, Berman, Árendás - Suorsa, Sidoruk, Drijvers - Sabljak, Lucarini.

It was an obvious ambition of Ramon to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for slann. At 10 minutes played, S. Quesada came in from the right with the intention of giving Ramon the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. slann's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing N. Berman to score easily from the right flank for 0 - 1. E. Sabljak tried using a burst of speed to get past his defender after 23 minutes, but it takes more than that to get past fast A. Acevedo. slann were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from E. Sabljak went into the arms of the keeper. 38 minutes in, Ramon appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Ramon had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

During the break, Ramon's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. After 57 minutes of play, E. Ortíz evened things up for Ramon with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. After 62 minutes, the slann coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving N. Lucarini off the field. E. Tornes took his place. P. Sidoruk would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. M. Trekels entered the game for slann as the match clock showed 73 minutes. slann almost scored after a swift counterattack 74 minutes into the game, but T. Suorsa put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. The referee showed slann's E. Tornes the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. S. Quesada was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Ramon's A. Chaves had to come off the bench. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Ramon, with 64 percent of the ball.

Ramon's best player was M. García. A. Chaves was a disappointment, however. The most dominating slann player was without a doubt G. Árendás. A. Drijvers on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
