Moitinho received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 55 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 6. The Balsa UTD fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. By then M. Moitinho had scored three goals - a hat trick! 58 minutes in, Balsa UTD's M. Moitinho received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 75 minutes played, Balsa UTD put themselves up 0 - 7 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was I. Nepomuceno. This third goal completed a hattrick for I. Nepomuceno. S. Sierra Galán came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over M.

Balsa UTD enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 71 percent of possession.

L. Garanhão performed admirably for Ilomants. M. Nanico on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Balsa UTD player was without a doubt H. Malling. However, J. Romero Florindo made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 7.
