Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for bandulhos. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 6 minutes into the match left Aupa_Osasuna's G. Baglieri completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 44 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave J. Sánchez a chance to increase the lead for Aupa_Osasuna, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. bandulhos's F. Aborbo was shown a yellow card after 44 minutes for slicing down an opponent. M. Kanashkevich's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Aupa_Osasuna, he bravely continued in the match. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Aupa_Osasuna claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 93 percent.

The home crowd cheered when, after 48 minutes, M. González Carbonera's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. With 49 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of bandulhos resulted in a counterattack that set D. Capitelli free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from J. Łapiński after 53 minutes, and prevented Aupa_Osasuna from going up another goal. J. Sánchez wanted to play on, but the Aupa_Osasuna coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 75 minutes into the game by E. Millán. Aupa_Osasuna's J. Befreiungsschlag placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but Ü. Yerlitaş couldn't finish. After 83 minutes bandulhos tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, F. Aborbo's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Nørrevang from Aupa_Osasuna a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 85 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Possession in this half belonged to Aupa_Osasuna, who controlled the ball 93 percent of the time.

bandulhos's top performer was clearly F. Aborbo. H. Gálvez was a disappointment, however. Aupa_Osasuna's best player was M. González Carbonera. However, E. Millán made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
