The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit K. den Toom just fine. 23 minutes into the game retamar managed a counterattack, but F. Hauberg took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. 25 minutes in, misdreavus's L. Pfaff received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to L. Rey, but the retamar player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of retamar to 2 - 0 as C. Martínez López finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. G. Jiménez Quirós's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert L. García was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for misdreavus. 2 - 1. C. Brizzante's name was chanted throughout the stadium after he made a fantastic save from H. Fjell's shot from the left 42 minutes into the match. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

61 minutes into the game misdreavus's H. Fjell found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 2 - 2. The referee showed misdreavus's H. Fjell the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. G. Jiménez Quirós dispatched a majestic long shot 87 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Poledno from retamar a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 88 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! misdreavus took the lead after 89 minutes making the score 2 - 3. L. García placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. H. Ungnad was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, misdreavus's K. den Toom managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 2 - 4 The home team's supporters got excited again when M. Snape broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 3 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by retamar, with 53 percent of the ball.

G. Klein performed admirably for retamar. However, B. Marín made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating misdreavus player was without a doubt K. den Toom. A. Katzarov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 4.
