Artilleros tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Elorregui - Chaftar, Todincă, Rats - Gendre, Bernewitz, Chapinha, Thäle, Vihonen - Villi, Gál.

Today, Artilleros's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Kyaro made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left E. Rueda completely alone with keeper A. Elorregui, who made a spectacular block. Against a lesser team, Artilleros could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 10 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. H. Martorell looked great 18 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' L. Chaftar. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when P. Villi was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 25 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! 30 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Kyaro was E. Rueda. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Kyaro enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

R. Padevět could have increased the lead after 71 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Kyaro's V. Montesinos got himself booked for a foul. After 80 minutes, E. Rueda put Kyaro ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After 83 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and R. Padevět gave the Kyaro supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. Kyaro's P. Lisakowski saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 86 minutes. Artilleros breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 87 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. Possession in this half belonged to Kyaro, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

Most important Kyaro player was E. Rezeš. H. Martorell was a disappointment, however. P. Villi performed admirably for Artilleros. A. Elorregui on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.
