It was an obvious ambition of Imaginario to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 4 minutes into the match, and F. Rión wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 23 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as M. Llompart finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The players of Imaginario now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The situation leading to krizua's penalty 26 minutes into the match will be much debated after the game ends, but the competent M. Yusuf didn't hesitate to make the score 1 - 2. S. Cerrato of Imaginario took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 27 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 1 - 3. R. Iturmendi was called on to replace krizua's B. Entrambasaguas after 32 minutes following a nasty collision. Halftime score was 1 - 3. krizua had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

F. Lanús of krizua seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 2 - 3 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by M. Yusuf. V. Verdugo made a superb strike after 69 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Players in Imaginario heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Some fine movement on the left led to a Imaginario goal after 72 minutes, making it 2 - 4. A. Disorna was noted down as the scorer. S. Cerrato left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 77 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Issa was the replacement. krizua didn't give in and with 84 minutes played P. Ayala was able to make the score 3 - 4 after an attack on the right. The crowd chanted their encouragement as krizua's D. Zubía came in from the right after 85 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 4 - 4. M. Llompart had a good opportunity to give Imaginario the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by krizua, with 57 percent of the ball.

The most dominating krizua player was without a doubt D. Zubía. R. Iturmendi was a disappointment, however. Imaginario's best player was M. Llompart. A. Issa on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 4.
