Today, Torrejoncillo's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Bayern could have put themselves ahead after 12 minutes but P. Mikó missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. Bayern took the lead 16 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as J. Ekert elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. After 18 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and T. Güvener gave the Bayern supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Bayern increased the lead as A. Negelein struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Coming in on the left, B. Ménesi did everything right to get a goal for Torrejoncillo after 31 minutes, but his finishing shot was stabbed clear by the keeper. J. Muñoz-León had a fantastic opportunity to put Bayern up another goal 32 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Bayern enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

Things were deteriorating for the away team as Bayern scored another to make it 4 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for P. Mikó after 47 minutes. 58 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as A. Negelein broke through, making the score 5 - 0 for Bayern. By now, the players in Bayern felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Bayern had a magnificent opportunity after 61 minutes as A. Negelein hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box. However, the shot went wide. Torrejoncillo were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Bayern coach let F. Davidsson replace P. Mikó after 75 minutes. After 75 minutes Torrejoncillo's R. Vanhercke contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Possession in this half belonged to Bayern, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

The most dominating Bayern player was without a doubt F. Milanesi. A. Negelein turned in a dismal performance, however. Torrejoncillo's best player was B. Ménesi. On the other hand, M. Nievas's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 0.
