The crowd of 4780 turning up at RAUL CAPITAN today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Adrien Gautschi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lorenzo López and Adrián Hinkó. INMORTAL decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Velasco - Zatón, Biglino, Monforte, Cleriguet - Franch, del Puente, Sala, Solé - Varela, Pérez Bueno.

welltech tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Gereñu - Perejoan, Iraurgui, Muñoz, Porca - Serra, Zarra, Durán de Quiroga, Longoria - Villaescusa, Ybarra Berge.

With 15 minutes played S. Varela almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when P. Porca slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against D. Velasco, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. Slack defending gave INMORTAL a chance to take the lead with 32 minutes played, but J. Solé's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. 37 minutes into the match, welltech's L. Longoria popped up from nowhere, cheekily stole the ball off an opposition player and scored. 0 - 1. welltech came close to extending their lead as L. Longoria delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 38 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. welltech claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

After the ball was lifted in from the left, L. Longoria was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 59 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. After 65 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by INMORTAL was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. On any other day, Á. Zatón's free kick would have found the back of the net to tie the game for INMORTAL, but not today - the visitors' keeper displayed extraordinary reflexes as he blocked the shot harmlessly to the side. After 88 minutes welltech's M. Ybarra Berge contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. welltech enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

The most dominating INMORTAL player was without a doubt S. Varela. R. Franch turned in a dismal performance, however. I. Serra performed admirably for welltech. B. Gereñu was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
