Córdoba were clearly looking ahead to the next match rather than focusing on the one at hand. The wings were the focus of most of Córdoba's attacks today. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 10 minutes allowed F. Caramaño to score for Córdoba. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. titugol's A. Hernández got himself booked for a foul. After 29 minutes, Córdoba's F. Caramaño burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. After 41 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for F. Caramaño who increased Córdoba's lead to 0 - 3. At that, F. Caramaño was noted down for a hat trick! After this, you could see that the players of Córdoba were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. After 42 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed L. Aidelsburger to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Córdoba enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 87 percent of possession.
