P. Sotelo gave Pompei the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 D. Gutiérrez should probably have put his team up another goal after 13 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by P. Ranieri kept the visitors in the game. Pompei's R. de Cangas swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. coperos had a chance to level the score as C. Kopal suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0.

66 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as M. Pintér struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. 67 minutes into the match, coperos nearly took the lead, as V. Scrimieri broke through on the right. J. Ortiz Madaleno made the save, however. coperos's V. Scrimieri left the field after 74 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Q. Tayara. 75 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Pompei to take the lead after a good cross from the right found D. Gutiérrez alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. P. Sotelo wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. 83 minutes into the game, P. Sotelo had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came J. Bolaños. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, V. Desplá took over the role of being the Pompei captain. Pompei had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Pompei's best player was C. Precedo. However, C. Alboquers made a disastrous appearance. L. Gorrite performed admirably for coperos. P. Ranieri on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
