The wings were the focus of most of Magic's attacks today. Cachuchas clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. 17 minutes into the match, Cachuchas nearly took the lead, as G. Crone broke through on the right. M. Castelló made the save, however. The goal to make it 0 - 1 was scored by F. Beomonte after 28 minutes, following an opportunistic counterattack down the middle by Cachuchas. The referee showed Magic's M. Biavia the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Magic enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

With 52 minutes played, after a good run down the left, M. Biavia went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. No matter how hard he tried, A. Casillas just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 76 minutes. D. Töndury was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Magic with a strike from the left, but F. Mínguez managed to ward the shot off for a corner. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Magic, with 59 percent of the ball.

Most important Magic player was L. Mora. On the other hand, C. Riobóo's play was disheartening. The most dominating Cachuchas player was without a doubt J. Desgual. B. Black on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
