Apocalipto91 were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Apocalipto91 created a good opportunity to score 8 minutes into the match when F. Sáiz López's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. 10 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Apocalipto91 to take the lead after a good cross from the right found F. Sáiz López alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Ceres's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but R. Schaffner struck it home without a second thought. E. Kekäläinen got a fingertip on S. Tubbs's shot from the left 39 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Apocalipto91, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

52 minutes into the game, S. Rohra came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. 56 minutes into the match, Apocalipto91's C. Cortolezzis maneuvered his way around the opposition on the left flank, delighting the crowd with his twists and turns. The effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score at 1 - 1. A penalty was given after 66 minutes, allowing the visitors to gain the lead: 1 - 2. R. Schaffner was the scorer. M. Di Marco wanted to play on, but the Ceres coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 70 minutes into the game by J. Takala. F. Sampaio became the new Ceres captain. The coach of Ceres was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, D. Risco came on for F. Sampaio. P. Pardo was handed the Ceres captain's armband. E. Stevens left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 71 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. B. Steenbock was the replacement. 71 minutes into the game, Ceres worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. After 72 minutes, Ceres's D. Jobin burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 3. Apocalipto91 had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Most important Apocalipto91 player was J. Montero. On the other hand, F. Sáiz López's play was disheartening. Ceres's top performer was clearly S. Tubbs. However, J. Takala made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 3.
