SNVDLM F.C tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Abengoza - Althaler, Sedstål, Cortés - Crescitelli, Stoeffler, Beltran, Lefranc, Escudé - Hadad, Jacquemoud.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Athletic. Starters: Falces - Just, Espar - Saura Macías, Camango, Alapont, Val, Gerardina - Colmenero Martínez, Vallecillo, Defaus.

It was an obvious ambition of Athletic to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. S. Jacquemoud caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 9 minutes. This gave SNVDLM F.C the 1 - 0 lead. E. Althaler almost put SNVDLM F.C ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in SNVDLM F.C's E. Althaler increasing the lead to 2 - 0. After 17 minutes, S. Jacquemoud put SNVDLM F.C ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. SNVDLM F.C claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

51 minutes into the game, M. Hadad had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came P. Meske. The SNVDLM F.C captaincy was handed to E. Althaler. Speedy P. Meske tried one of his patented rushes 52 minutes into the game, but R. Espar was just as fast and averted the attack. 55 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as N. Crescitelli broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for SNVDLM F.C. After 65 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to SNVDLM F.C's N. Crescitelli being carried off the pitch and replaced by J. Parreño. SNVDLM F.C's J. Stoeffler increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 69 minutes. The players of SNVDLM F.C now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 87 minutes in, SNVDLM F.C's T. Escudé received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. SNVDLM F.C had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

J. Stoeffler performed admirably for SNVDLM F.C. J. Parreño turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Athletic player was E. Gerardina. On the other hand, F. Falces's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 0.
