For their match strategy, Dpel had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. aleman saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The guests took the lead 9 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in I. Minz scoring to make it 0 - 1. M. Queirós was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. I. Minz increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. With 26 minutes played, F. Sánchez of aleman fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. An indecisive keeper looked on as a free kick by aleman's J. Ledesma put the visitors up 0 - 3 after 28 minutes. By now, the players in aleman felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Dpel's P. Gebrev had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 37 minutes having been played. N. Focruz was the replacement. It was 0 - 3 at the break. aleman claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

J. Ramirez-Tello left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Siller was the replacement. aleman came close to extending their lead as I. Minz delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 53 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. The visitors added to their lead 66 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by aleman's J. Ledesma slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 4. A drive down the left side allowed M. Muñoz to get in close and score another goal for aleman after 75 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to aleman, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

N. Focruz performed admirably for Dpel. On the other hand, Ó. Mesa's play was disheartening. aleman's best player was C. Ibar. I. Minz turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
