With 35 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as M. Albanese flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. With 39 minutes played, ROMANticos put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to F. Guimarães, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of ROMANticos to 3 - 0 as M. Bartosik finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. By now, the players in ROMANticos felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to ROMANticos, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

ROMANticos's J. Rivarola had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 77 minutes having been played. D. Kurylak was the replacement. 86 minutes in, W. Friedeborn made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but J. Viikeri refused to let the ball slip by him. The referee showed ROMANticos's M. Bartosik the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. E. Elorregui unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. S. Monaco Vito nearly reduced the lead 89 minutes into the game, but a splendid one-handed save by J. Viikeri prevented the attempt coming in from the right flank from hitting the back of the net. A great save by keeper J. Butenfocke after 89 minutes kept the visitors in the game after R. Rodríguez struck from the left with a real cannonball. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ROMANticos, with 53 percent of the ball.

J. Rönnborg performed admirably for ROMANticos. E. Elorregui on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating La_Revancha player was without a doubt S. Monaco Vito. M. Păsat turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
