Halamadrid clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 3 minutes into the match left Kungfusion's J. Pedrique completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 26 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for I. Johansen who increased Kungfusion's lead to 0 - 2. Confident in their lead, Kungfusion's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Kungfusion claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

67 minutes into the match, the speedy J. Monteiro Marques easily outpaced B. Tarani, chipped the keeper and made the score 0 - 3. The coach of Kungfusion was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 85 minutes, E. Sleiman came on for I. Johansen. The Kungfusion players could smell victory in the air. F. Canares wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Colom after 85 minutes. 87 minutes into the match, J. Pedrique came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. The home crowd cheered when, after 88 minutes, D. Marcos's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. A drive down the left side allowed J. Monteiro Marques to get in close and score another goal for Kungfusion after 88 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 4. Kungfusion's V. Anelauskas was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 89 minutes. Kungfusion enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

I. Smolarz performed admirably for Halamadrid. H. Velarde Diez on the other hand, had a terrible day. Kungfusion's top performer was clearly J. Monteiro Marques. However, E. Sleiman made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 4.
