The terraces were silenced after 8 minutes when simpson4's U. Pedrajas put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. simpson4 increased their lead after 19 minutes when U. Pedrajas broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. 24 minutes into the game, simpson4 were awarded a penalty and R. Banks was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 3 rolling the ball in by the right post. Confident in their lead, simpson4's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. With 28 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, M. Barón needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Cunetas reduced the lead to 1 - 3 with 29 minutes on the clock when J. Yurrita got the best of a ball floated in from the left. 1 - 3 was the halftime score. Cunetas had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

A well placed corner kick from B. Pinedo was followed by M. Zarra's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Cunetas, the score now 2 - 3. Given a free kick close to the byline, Cunetas tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let D. Martín Cerro slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 3 - 3, 73 minutes into the game. After 82 minutes of play, B. Pinedo gave the home team a 4 - 3 lead after an attack coming in from the right. M. Barón of Cunetas was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Cunetas, with 55 percent of the ball.

J. Yurrita performed admirably for Cunetas. However, E. Iniesto made a disastrous appearance. simpson4's best player was L. Maestro. On the other hand, D. Patero's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 3.
