The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 9454 had shown up at TiTaNeS C.F. for the match. François Van Hove was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Aldo Perche and Fréderique Cnudde. TiTaNeS_86 decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Echaide - Tolu, Danaeifard, Oláh - Ahmazoune, Pyrek, Ortega, Balugani - Dragański, Dauenhauer, Ionescu.

Viento tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Starters: Bensebbou - Cadrón, Romero, Domenge - Barneda, Campo, Nemiña, Anangonó - Sacchetto, Mellado, Stanisich.

Viento mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. A questionable penalty 6 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 1 - 0. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as G. Ortega knocked the ball home. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of TiTaNeS_86 to 2 - 0 as V. Ionescu finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The coach of TiTaNeS_86 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 30 minutes, E. Ruiz came on for G. Ortega. The goal for 3 - 0 was a funny story: after 32 minutes the seemingly nonchalant lob from TiTaNeS_86's A. Tolu landed at the feet of B. Dragański who sidefooted it into the net - nice goal! TiTaNeS_86 increased the lead as G. Balugani struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The players of TiTaNeS_86 now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. K. Danaeifard squirmed through their central defence after 38 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 0. After 39 minutes, V. Domenge chose the right corner while taking his penalty, humiliating the home keeper, who dived in the wrong direction. The goal reduced the home lead to 5 - 1. 5 - 1 was the score after the first half. TiTaNeS_86 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

The home side's B. Dragański came close to extending the lead 65 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but K. Bensebbou managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Content with how the game was proceeding, the TiTaNeS_86 coach let S. Vega Guzmán replace J. Pyrek after 67 minutes. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their D. Sacchetto reduced the lead to make it 5 - 2 after 69 minutes, following a pass from the right. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Barneda got himself booked. The manager of Viento was not happy. C. Ahmazoune should probably have put his team up another goal after 81 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by K. Bensebbou kept the visitors in the game. Cheers filled the stadium as H. Dauenhauer broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 6 - 2 to TiTaNeS_86. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 87 minutes, TiTaNeS_86 did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, S. Vega Guzmán was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 7 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by TiTaNeS_86, with 72 percent of the ball.

TiTaNeS_86's top performer was clearly E. Ruiz. V. Echaide was a disappointment, however. D. Sacchetto performed admirably for Viento. K. Bensebbou turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 2.
