For their match strategy, Ventanielles had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Paixalet. After 5 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Ventanielles was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. After 6 minutes Paixalet tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, A. Andonov's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. Ventanielles's F. Fenech was shown a yellow card after 32 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 33 minutes played H. Lamela almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Paixalet almost scored after a counterattack 36 minutes into the match, but A. Andonov took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Ventanielles had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Ventanielles's I. Arburua tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. 69 minutes into the game, Ventanielles wanted to bring some new energy to their game. C. Amboaxe gave S. Tolosa a quick hug as he left the field. I. Arburua became the new Ventanielles captain. As the 75 minute mark approached, the Paixalet coach decided it was time for a substitution. A. Gordoncillo reluctantly made way for P. Frutiger on the pitch. 76 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Ventanielles substitution. R. Barrado came on for F. Fenech. Many thought I. Arburua ought to have been awarded a penalty 77 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around J. de Lope after a determined run through the middle. Paixalet almost scored after a swift counterattack 78 minutes into the game, but P. Frutiger put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. After 80 minutes, the Paixalet coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving X. Negre off the field. R. Safont took his place. As the 80 minute mark approached, the Paixalet coach decided it was time for a substitution. R. Giehse reluctantly made way for R. Paci on the pitch. Ventanielles claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

Ventanielles's top performer was clearly H. Lamela. L. Ciobanu on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Paixalet player was P. Frutiger. R. Safont was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
