Silver saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The wings were the focus of most of JouirCF's attacks today. Slack defending gave Silver a chance to take the lead with 13 minutes played, but Á. Hajnal's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Players in JouirCF heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. A penalty was given after 32 minutes, allowing the visitors to gain the lead: 0 - 1. A. Onieva Mira was the scorer. Silver's E. Apaolaza's long shot really ought to have found the net 36 minutes into the match, but it fell just wide of the target. JouirCF had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Silver tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. 39 minutes into the game, JouirCF worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Silver had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Attacking on the wings was the choice for Silver, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Due to some great work on the right wing Silver's M. Terrassa was able to even the score after 52 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. As the 68 minute mark approached, the JouirCF coach decided it was time for a substitution. A. Onieva Mira reluctantly made way for B. Oskarsson on the pitch. W. Martinez would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. M. Cassindoro entered the game for JouirCF as the match clock showed 72 minutes. The JouirCF captaincy was handed to I. Saavedra. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

The most dominating Silver player was without a doubt G. Culubret. K. Çağın on the other hand, had a terrible day. JouirCF's best player was B. Oskarsson. Y. Loriot turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
