22406 fans braved the pouring rain at Hornillo Miguel. Clemens Baatz was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fryderyk Kasprowicz and Marc Nogueras. Huercalense started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Rougier - Kapaklis, de Wijs, Krisch - Bøe, Fusté, van Ardenne, Manaresi, Bellorini - Lo Capezzo, Vara.

INVENCIBLES had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players took the field: Vader - Díaz, Bælum, Solak, Bailly, Ghalmi - Safta, Łakoma, Clavero, Mazars - Dokoupil.

INVENCIBLES were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. V. Dokoupil did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. W. Vara really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by O. Fusté after a corner. Attacking on the wings was the choice for INVENCIBLES, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The referee showed INVENCIBLES's G. Díaz the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. C. van Ardenne's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Huercalense, he bravely continued in the match. C. Manaresi was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. Making his way up the middle 38 minutes into the match, G. Lo Capezzo almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert Y. Vader blocked it to keep the score level. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Huercalense, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

After 63 minutes Huercalense tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, C. van Ardenne's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. The crowd gasped as E. de Wijs of Huercalense was flattened by an opponent after 79 minutes and had to be carried off. Q. Rodrigues came in off the bench. INVENCIBLES's M. Bælum could have put the guests one up after 80 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but E. Rougier was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. 81 minutes into the game, A. Ghalmi had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came C. Riscanebo. Y. Vader was the new captain of INVENCIBLES - handed the armband by the departing player. Huercalense could have put themselves ahead after 83 minutes but G. Lo Capezzo missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. Huercalense enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

Most important Huercalense player was W. Vara. C. Manaresi on the other hand, had a terrible day. INVENCIBLES's top performer was clearly W. Solak. C. Riscanebo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
