For their match strategy, hortiguelas had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. hortiguelas mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 15 minutes, but M. Giani was unable to convert from short range. C. Martins had to be alert to tip I. Rinaldi's fantastic penalty kick over the bar, denying TOLETUM a chance at the lead. With 35 minutes gone, D. Ben Yaghlene suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by hortiguelas caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. Thighs bulging, E. Falera charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. The referee showed hortiguelas's R. Monroy the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. In a fantastic display of determination, TOLETUM's A. Litvinov forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. Halftime score was 0 - 0. TOLETUM enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

At 50 minutes played, D. Cats came in from the right with the intention of giving TOLETUM the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. After 51 minutes hortiguelas tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, K. Sunesson's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. L. Köblös would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. P. Harlay entered the game for hortiguelas as the match clock showed 65 minutes. I. Rinaldi caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 65 minutes. This gave TOLETUM the 1 - 0 lead. The TOLETUM coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 65 minutes into the game. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, hortiguelas's K. Sunesson was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 66 minutes. F. Paczyński was given a chance to change things around. After 66 minutes, hortiguelas used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. With 71 minutes played, T. Brocks of hortiguelas fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. TOLETUM's I. Rinaldi made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 75 minutes into the match. Content with how the game was proceeding, the TOLETUM coach let M. Bocanegra replace G. Osuna after 78 minutes. I. Rinaldi left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 82 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. J. Alderliefste was the replacement. A. Infulati became the new TOLETUM captain. TOLETUM had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.

The most dominating TOLETUM player was without a doubt E. Falera. However, T. Gavrilescu made a disastrous appearance. E. Esponellà performed admirably for hortiguelas. P. Harlay on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
