The wings were the focus of most of senderoluminoso's attacks today. F. Smith delivered a good free kick from an excellent position 11 minutes into the game, but luck wasn't on Las_X's side this time and the ball went wide. senderoluminoso's L. Pedrosa placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but R. Dal Molin couldn't finish. After 34 minutes, L. Pedrosa came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving senderoluminoso the lead. Coming from the right, A. Veillet almost managed to score another goal for senderoluminoso, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Las_X claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Las_X levelled the score after 49 minutes to make it 1 - 1, as R. Le Maux struck home after a fine midfield combination through the centre, which left him completely unmarked. 66 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but R. Le Maux, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. D. Quental was very close to giving senderoluminoso the lead with an ingenious free kick routine 68 minutes into the match, but the ball just grazed the bar. The referee showed Las_X's F. Smith the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 78 minutes into the match, Las_X nearly took the lead, as L. Bilbao broke through on the right. A. Zattoni made the save, however. With the match clock at 80 minutes, senderoluminoso modified their style of play a little bit. 80 minutes into the match, the senderoluminoso manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

R. Dal Molin performed admirably for senderoluminoso. D. Helming on the other hand, had a terrible day. Las_X's top performer was clearly C. Jakubek. However, H. Bãdoi made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 1.
