kitinplus seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Slack defending gave kitinplus a chance to take the lead with 10 minutes played, but E. Colín's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. 0 - 1 was the score with 12 minutes played, after N. Oude Middendorp cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for beranos. M. August could have put his team up another goal 27 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. With 28 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, N. Kim needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, kitinplus's È. Ques was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 30 minutes. X. Prieto was given a chance to change things around. V. Stepanov was handed the kitinplus captain's armband. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. beranos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

R. Rosa Passos's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert W. Gortemaker was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for beranos. 0 - 2. The bench was restless, and with 60 minutes passed kitinplus's coach gave B. Farstad the opportunity the player had been hoping for. X. Prieto reluctantly left the field. 65 minutes into the match, N. Oude Middendorp came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. J. Descoll of kitinplus received a yellow card after 68 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. J. Descoll was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, kitinplus's V. Stepanov managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 1 - 2 After 70 minutes of play, B. Farstad evened things up for kitinplus with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 2 - 2. kitinplus's B. Farstad tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when S. Björkqvist was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 81 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! beranos had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

B. Farstad performed admirably for kitinplus. E. Isturizaga was a disappointment, however. beranos's best player was W. Gortemaker. On the other hand, L. Escoiquiz's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 2.
