A mistake by the home side's central defence after 4 minutes allowed P. Dyakov to score for ancestral. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, M. Delpuig got himself booked. The manager of ancestral was not happy. After 16 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for J. Vivo who increased ancestral's lead to 0 - 2. With 20 minutes played, ancestral put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was R. Villalba. 27 minutes in, Alquimia's A. Betegi received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A loud groan was heard from the fans of ancestral, as M. Delpuig left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. A. Mariano took his place on the field. ancestral's A. Mariano finished emphatically to make the score 0 -4 after 31 minutes, after the enigmatic E. Piera pulled a delightful long pass from his box of tricks to bypass the defence. Confident in their lead, ancestral's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Mariano came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 37 minutes. ancestral were now up 0 - 5. 0 - 5 was the halftime score. ancestral enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

A. Mariano of ancestral took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 47 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 6. At that, A. Mariano was noted down for a hat trick! J. Vivo of ancestral seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 0 - 7 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by C. Girón. Against a lesser team, ancestral could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 73 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. It might be a while before the fans see ancestral's P. Dyakov again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 75 minute mark. He was replaced by V. Guisasola. E. Casadevall increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 8. Some fine movement on the left led to a ancestral goal after 82 minutes, making it 0 - 9. E. Casadevall was noted down as the scorer. ancestral claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

Alquimia's top performer was clearly R. Porta. À. Brescó was a disappointment, however. A. Melgar performed admirably for ancestral. On the other hand, L. Lafaurie's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 9.
