For their match strategy, bandulhos had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. I. Nechifor looked to be heading one way when he unexpectedly passed the ball to S. Arxer. The move caught everyone off-guard, including his teammate, who panicked and kicked the ball out of play by accident. The visiting L. Viamonte was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 17 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. After the ball was lifted in from the left, R. Hurtado was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 18 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. B. Medina Bernal received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 29 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Estrella fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Estrella enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 90 percent of possession.

With the scoreboard showing that 49 minutes had been played, Estrella nearly put themselves up another goal after L. Viamonte came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. F. Balcol was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from bandulhos's defence 50 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 1 - 2. Some fine movement on the left led to a Estrella goal after 64 minutes, making it 1 - 3. M. Zrnić was noted down as the scorer. With 73 minutes played, M. Zrnić nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Estrella increased their lead after 79 minutes when J. Tarrida broke through on the right, upping the score to 1 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 80 minutes, L. Viamonte sent the corner kick right to J. Tarrida who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 5! By now, the players in Estrella felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. R. Valdés Velázquez got a fingertip on M. Zrnić's shot from the left 85 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. After 86 minutes bandulhos tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, F. Aborbo's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Estrella, with 89 percent of the ball.

bandulhos's top performer was clearly F. Aborbo. However, R. Valdés Velázquez made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Estrella player was without a doubt M. Zrnić. L. Viamonte was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 5.
