Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Mataró. 1 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Poli substitution. R. Víquez came on for M. Salazar. 1 minutes into the game, Poli wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Z. Némethy gave D. Clark a quick hug as he left the field. With the clock showing 19 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Mataró resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by J. Saucedo in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. With 24 minutes played, Poli's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to A. Khoumssi he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 1 - 0. F. Gutiérrez of Mataró was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 27 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and G. Andrade gave the Poli supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. By now, the players in Poli felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Poli claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 81 percent.

The Poli players could smell victory in the air. A. Khoumssi wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for C. Camas after 46 minutes. Coming from the right, G. Molino almost managed to score another goal for Poli, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Mataró's counterattacks created a good chance for J. Saucedo on the right after 53 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. G. Molino unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by R. Víquez. At last, Poli's G. Andrade was able to backheel the ball in. 3 - 0. Poli managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when R. Víquez cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Isarbiribil from Mataró a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 74 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! G. Molino increased the lead for Poli to 5 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Y. Marchal should probably have put his team up another goal after 80 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by D. Casadó kept the visitors in the game. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Poli's S. Klobušník increasing the lead to 6 - 0. Poli had most of the ball, with 83 percent of possession.

S. Klobušník performed admirably for Poli. C. Camas turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Mataró player was S. Isarbiribil. However, E. Vierthaler made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 6 - 0.
