United seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when D. Cañaveral slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against F. Venere, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. It wasn't a pretty goal, but the free kick by D. Del Gaudio after 27 minutes somehow found its way past the keeper. United takes the lead, 1 - 0! I. Cousiño could have increased the lead after 41 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. The visitors refused to give in and, after 42 minutes, N. Scanu evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 1 - 1 It was 1 - 1 at the break. Alcoholic had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

65 minutes into the game, Alcoholic wanted to bring some new energy to their game. D. Cañaveral gave D. Vravník a quick hug as he left the field. The guests took the lead 67 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in D. Vravník scoring to make it 1 - 2. N. Scanu left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 68 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. L. Oropallo was the replacement. 72 minutes into the match, G. Salone came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Alcoholic claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

United's best player was C. Knafl. However, Y. Zandberg made a disastrous appearance. Most important Alcoholic player was G. Salone. T. Rackham was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
