Pressing was the tactic of the day for Tricks. With 19 minutes played E. Serea almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. X. Nuell behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 28 minutes as he gave the ball away to V. Osokin. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. solfas broke through on the left 30 minutes into the game, with P. Mantzourakis firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave R. Estornell Campos from Tricks a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 31 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! In a fantastic display of determination, solfas's 凌. 世帆 (Shifan) forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. G. Allan's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert V. Napoleón was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Tricks. 1 - 1. Tricks pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. Halftime score was 1 - 1. solfas had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Tricks's G. Allan was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 47 minutes. Tricks's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Y. Vincent of Tricks received a yellow card after 78 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Tricks's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. There was concern in the stands when, at the 89 minute mark, solfas's E. Serea hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. solfas created a good opportunity to score 89 minutes into the match when P. Mantzourakis's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. K. Śniecikowski of solfas seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 2 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by A. Çisen. Tricks's right side looked dangerous 89 minutes in, but K. Piaskowy made a good save on V. Napoleón's hard shot to the top corner. E. Serea increased the lead for solfas to 3 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by solfas, with 55 percent of the ball.

solfas's top performer was clearly V. Osokin. G. Philippi was a disappointment, however. Tricks's best player was Y. Vincent. F. Rafí turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
