L. Huaringa looked great 25 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' A. Rodríguez Roldán. depecheros were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 26 minutes, J. Solli swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 1 - 0. After 27 minutes Alborada's C. Loiseau limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The referee was not popular with the home supporters after he awarded Alborada a controversial penalty after 33 minutes. M. Liska made no mistake, levelling the score at 1 - 1. After a fine move down the middle T. Corominas nearly gave the home side a goal after 41 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. As F. Gudrich had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the depecheros player a red card without batting an eyelid. H. Gentils hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving depecheros's L. Pedraza an easy chance to knock it in for 2 - 1. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Alborada, with 53 percent of the ball.

T. Portabales could have put depecheros up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 48 minutes. depecheros's L. Pereira was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 58 minutes. T. Portabales increased the lead for depecheros 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! H. Angeltveit sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from M. Liska after 77 minutes of play, making the score 3 - 2. Alborada had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

depecheros's best player was L. Huaringa. However, H. Gentils made a disastrous appearance. W. Anisimowicz performed admirably for Alborada. On the other hand, A. Rodríguez Roldán's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 2.
