The wings were the focus of most of Charito's attacks today. J. Aguirre of Pumar seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by K. Kõiv. C. Endara could have put Pumar up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 19 minutes. Pumar's J. Santizo had an excellent opportunity after 23 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! After 28 minutes Pumar's K. Szalbót contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. A. Skrzydło increased the lead for Pumar to 2 - 0, 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! M. Lacunes of Charito was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Pumar claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Sensing defeat in the air, the Charito manager directed W. Domiter and M. Lacunes to change positions with each other. This was 46 minutes into the match. K. Kõiv increased Pumar's lead to 3 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. By now, the players in Pumar felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Charito needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 65 minutes À. Rosselló made way for C. Roulier. Players in Charito heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; D. Selva made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 3 - 1 68 minutes into the match. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Charito's G. Wolfisberg was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes. I. Parkes was given a chance to change things around. After 72 minutes, a deliberate handball from Charito's M. Lacunes was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. S. Alonso made one of his many fine passes from the wing into the middle 73 minutes into the match. A. Skrzydło bravely attempted to execute a diving header and the ball was met firmly with his forehead for Pumar. 4 - 1. Pumar's J. Santizo was shown a yellow card after 80 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 83 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as H. Rivero anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 4 - 2. There was concern in the stands when, at the 84 minute mark, Charito's U. Ørskov hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Pumar had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Pumar's top performer was clearly K. Kõiv. S. Alonso on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Charito player was without a doubt D. Selva. S. Nevo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
