It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 18636 that came out to El pichorrongo.

joanvi tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. The following players took the field: Polessa - Torikka, Andersson, Casar, Fernandes Brito, Di Lorenzo - Hardy, Schraube, Edlinger - Macià, Valočka.

mejodes saw most attack opportunities on the wings. For their match strategy, joanvi had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. After 3 minutes, mejodes sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached A. Pérez, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 0. 10 minutes into the game, joanvi seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. The mejodes free kick 14 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of J. Meres, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 2 - 0! 25 minutes into the game, joanvi had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. 35 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as P. Khunsuthi broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for mejodes. At this point, it was obvious that the players of mejodes lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A counterattack by joanvi after 43 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but J. Macià, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave F. Taeubert from mejodes a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 43 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 3 - 0 was the halftime score. mejodes enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 71 percent of possession.

During the break, joanvi's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. C. Koc unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. C. Koc's tried to storm through the defence after 48 minutes, but J. Casar was just too fast to shake off and the rest of the defence got back to cover. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs L. Hardy found it hard to get back into position. joanvi almost scored after a counterattack 60 minutes into the match, but J. Valočka took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. After 73 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as joanvi found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. Attacking on the wings was the choice for mejodes, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. mejodes's C. Vadkerti increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 74 minutes. joanvi reduced the deficit to 4 - 1 with a penalty placed perfectly beside the left post by A. Torikka. mejodes had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

mejodes's top performer was clearly C. Koc. However, J. Diggelmann made a disastrous appearance. Most important joanvi player was J. Macià. Z. Polessa turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
