It was an obvious ambition of Perracos to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. The wings were the focus of most of Quintos_03's attacks today. Perracos had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Perracos had a chance to take the lead after T. Abdullayev's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 14 minutes. Quintos_03 took the lead after 16 minutes making the score 0 - 1. D. Alzate placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Perracos's S. Zublena was shown a yellow card after 24 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The referee showed Perracos's M. Gaitán the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Due to a severely mistimed tackle, R. Intriago of Quintos_03 spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. No matter how hard he tried, X. Masdeu just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 33 minutes. One of many good crosses from F. Beyler on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by G. Ignat, who scored for Quintos_03. 0 - 2 Perracos's M. Mercader left the field after 37 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was U. Talens. After 39 minutes, Perracos's J. Palma fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Perracos, with 53 percent of the ball.

Quintos_03 came close to extending their lead as K. Žvingys delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 47 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. P. Ruiz Melendez kept the home side in the game with a magnificent save when E. Moreno delivered an almost perfect free kick to the far post. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Quintos_03, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. K. Žvingys of Quintos_03 took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 73 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. Possession in this half belonged to Perracos, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

Most important Perracos player was J. Palma. U. Talens was a disappointment, however. D. Alzate performed admirably for Quintos_03. On the other hand, Ž. Krivošija's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 3.
