Fight saw most attack opportunities on the wings. After 25 minutes of play, F. Nava gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Players in Fight heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Fight increased the lead as F. Nava struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. L. Cosi could have put Fight up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 34 minutes. Fight's A. Soltero was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 37 minutes. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Fight enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

With 56 minutes played, Fight's W. Zaka almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. F. Nava increased the lead for Fight to 3 - 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! This third goal completed a hattrick for F. Nava. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their J. Rebolledo reduced the lead to make it 3 - 1 after 79 minutes, following a pass from the right. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. F. Nava squirmed through their central defence after 80 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 1. Fight claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

M. Núñez-Robles performed admirably for Fight. On the other hand, M. Varano's play was disheartening. Flikis's top performer was clearly C. Fecri. R. Eller on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 1.
