Arteta was called on to replace Abelaco's A. Coiro after 21 minutes following a nasty collision. A. Proost should probably have put his team up another goal after 23 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by T. Tarasiewicz kept the visitors in the game. Guarrona's T. Nybø left the field after 42 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was K. Eiherabarren. Guarrona's J. Guilisasti saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 43 minutes. J. Strokosz had a fantastic opportunity to put Guarrona up another goal 44 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Players in Abelaco heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. L. Salatelli stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Abelaco the goal to make it 1 - 1. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Guarrona, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

G. Almli sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from J. Guilisasti after 54 minutes of play, making the score 2 - 1. K. Vasilev enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. After 65 minutes Guarrona's D. Staubmann contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Guarrona's A. Proost increased the lead to 3 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 74 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of Guarrona were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Abelaco had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

The most dominating Guarrona player was without a doubt E. Cox. E. Reimondez on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Abelaco player was C. Marchese. T. Tarasiewicz turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
