41847 fans braved the pouring rain at Marco Antonio Ramos. Tommy Hägergren was the appointed referee. Chavo started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. The following players took the field: Croon - Wydra, Llorente, Herreras, Malka - Bannig, Bernobi, Manjon Díaz, Angel, Amado - Ciaccasassi.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Silmaril. Lineup: Saavedra - Cayrus, Moreau, Vlădulescu, Lazo Ramos, Ryser - Zonnevylle, Pérez, Masetti - Aun, Leunda.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Silmaril. D. Manjon Díaz behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 5 minutes as he gave the ball away to A. Pérez. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Chavo were very close to putting themselves one up after 11 minutes as P. Llorente got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. L. Aun spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. The corner kick from C. Herreras was powerfully met by the head of D. Manjon Díaz to make the score 1 - 0. Silmaril almost scored after a counterattack 24 minutes into the match, but J. Lazo Ramos took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Chavo had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.

After 63 minutes, the defensive line of Silmaril created a counterattack through the middle that gave J. Lazo Ramos a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 70 minutes in, Silmaril's C. Masetti received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. P. Llorente wanted to play on, but the Chavo coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 75 minutes into the game by G. Götte. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, G. Götte took over the role of being the Chavo captain. An accurate cross from H. Amado of Chavo was met with a wonderful glancing header from P. Ciaccasassi, hitting the inside base of the post before nestling into the back of the net for 2 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Chavo were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Coming in from the right, Silmaril had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 81 minutes, but D. Zonnevylle's attempt to finish was easily stopped. G. Götte increased the lead for Chavo to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Silmaril's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing G. Moreau to score easily from the right flank for 3 - 1. Chavo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 70 percent of possession.

Chavo's best player was E. Angel. G. Götte on the other hand, had a terrible day. J. Leunda performed admirably for Silmaril. G. Vlădulescu was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
