aldebaran were relying on their ability to counter-attack. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when V. Camas was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 23 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! The visiting J. Prudencio was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 26 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. After 36 minutes of game time, V. Camas had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but B. Moreno was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by aldebaran, with 56 percent of the ball.

49 minutes into the match, S. Dudnik came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Raven's U. Murgil was shown a yellow card after 51 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Raven's U. Murgil had a hard, curved free kick after 64 minutes that would have paid off, had it gone just a little lower. B. Moreno got a fingertip on S. Dudnik's shot from the left 68 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. The aldebaran players could smell victory in the air. J. Baío wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Barbizzi after 72 minutes. There was concern in the stands when, at the 76 minute mark, aldebaran's E. Henestrosa hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. With 78 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of aldebaran resulted in a counterattack that set B. Skladan free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. T. Martínez was called on to replace aldebaran's R. Cantoni after 79 minutes following a nasty collision. aldebaran increased their lead after 81 minutes when V. Camas broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. aldebaran enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

The most dominating Raven player was without a doubt R. Väljaots. J. Läfvenbratt turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important aldebaran player was V. Camas. However, R. Romero made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
