A. Camacho could have put Yanteam into the lead after 17 minutes, but the free kick went just wide. ofensivos had to make a substitution after 19 minutes. C. Astigarraga limped off the field and was replaced by C. Puig Parias. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 21 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from I. Bento, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Yanteam's P. Arana increasing the lead to 2 - 0. The coach of Yanteam was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 27 minutes, J. López Herrero came on for S. Serral. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Yanteam lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 29 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by J. Moncada Maza might have resulted in another goal for Yanteam. However, V. Ram de Montoro made a spectacular save. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Yanteam, who controlled the ball 74 percent of the time.

After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, P. Oneto got himself booked. The manager of Yanteam was not happy. The referee showed ofensivos's N. Lübtow the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. What ever got into N. Lübtow, the crowd mumbled, as he suddenly struck a cross pass through his own defence - ending up right in front of Yanteam's P. Arana, who easily put the ball away for 3 - 0 after 67 minutes. R. Méndez Ortiz sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from J. Soligó after 70 minutes of play, making the score 3 - 1. The Yanteam players could smell victory in the air. E. Qululu wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Serrat after 80 minutes. Yanteam had most of the ball, with 76 percent of possession.

Most important Yanteam player was P. Arana. P. Oneto on the other hand, had a terrible day. ofensivos's top performer was clearly V. Ram de Montoro. However, N. Lübtow made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
