Borkent to make it 0 - 1. 14 minutes into the game, korrecaminos85 had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. In a rapid move 18 minutes into the match, D. Kraus of korrecaminos85 lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked Ó. Cal who easily hit it home to make it 0 - 2. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! korrecaminos85 almost scored after a swift counterattack 37 minutes into the game, but D. Kraus put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Cigüeñas enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 81 percent of possession.

The korrecaminos85 players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. K. Chróst tried to get a goal back for Cigüeñas but despite all his hard work down the right, he just couldn't complete the move. korrecaminos85 had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 50 minutes, but Ó. Cal's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. Cigüeñas didn't give in and with 55 minutes played F. Endara was able to make the score 1 - 2 after an attack on the right. 59 minutes in, korrecaminos85 appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. 62 minutes into the game korrecaminos85 managed a counterattack, but X. Cabado took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. After 63 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as korrecaminos85 found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. The rain made it hard for players like S. Pardo to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Cigüeñas's M. Moleiro was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 66 minutes. I. Etxegoren was given a chance to change things around. The Cigüeñas coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. After 69 minutes, Cigüeñas used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Cigüeñas manager used a brief break in play after 72 minutes to give the players new directives. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 78 minutes gave Cigüeñas a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and D. Cachafeiro stepped up to the challenge. 2 - 2 korrecaminos85 had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 79 minutes in when F. Renault came up alone against F. Serdà who managed a block. Cigüeñas claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 79 percent.

D. Enderica performed admirably for Cigüeñas. However, F. Serdà made a disastrous appearance. Most important korrecaminos85 player was Ó. Cal. S. Pardo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
