26170 punters turned up at ChampCamp, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Awad Al-Mustafa was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jan-Frederik Meye and Pedro Miguel Albergaria. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for XJordilXTeam. They fielded: Macón - Bácsván, Maier, Mohd Nadzir - Krug, Raposo, Hasan, Nežník, Presedo - Dahms, Cavedon.

Ezkio started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Beckert - Lips, Poulsen - Baquero, Dysarz, Mesas, Cobanillas, Tareco - Haufe, Abalo, Cascajares.

It was an obvious ambition of XJordilXTeam to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Ezkio seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. 12 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for XJordilXTeam was M. Bácsván. XJordilXTeam's A. Mohd Nadzir left the field after 19 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was X. Cebreiros. D. Raposo of XJordilXTeam was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Ezkio tied it all up, 25 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by H. Abalo, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 1 - 1. Players in XJordilXTeam heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. XJordilXTeam took the lead after 26 minutes as a result of S. Cavedon's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 2 - 1. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to XJordilXTeam, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

After 55 minutes, S. Cavedon put XJordilXTeam ahead 3 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. It might be a while before the fans see Ezkio's F. Baquero again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 71 minute mark. He was replaced by A. Renau. The away team improved the scoreline to 3 - 2, as H. Abalo struck home, set up well by a play on the left 81 minutes into the match. XJordilXTeam had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

XJordilXTeam's best player was M. Nežník. On the other hand, X. Cebreiros's play was disheartening. Most important Ezkio player was F. Cascajares. A. Renau turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
