Gallart was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! A. París of UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish T. Gumucio, which resulted in a goal making the score 0 - 1. The home crowd was not impressed when M. Valcázar came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 30 minutes. UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE were now up 0 - 2. Ó. Camaro increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. After 34 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave Z. Gergov a chance to increase the lead for UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. Ó. Camaro received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 35 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Confident in their lead, UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Halftime score was 0 - 5.

A drive down the left side allowed L. Montilla to get in close and score another goal for UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE after 47 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 6. After 70 minutes, C. Matas had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for simpson4 with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. J. Gregorio 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. After 81 minutes, UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE's E. Vilasoa burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 7. With a penalty awarded after 82 minutes, simpson4's R. Banks placed the ball low and to the keeper's right, impossible to block. 1 - 7. UD.ZARAGOZA_AL_PODE had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.
