Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Blaster. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when N. Sabino slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against J. Liberatori, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. A counterattack by Blaster after 36 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but E. Alesso, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. revolucion claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

A penalty was given after 66 minutes, allowing the visitors to gain the lead: 0 - 1. P. Palomaa was the scorer. revolucion's M. Viola made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 76 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. After 84 minutes, Blaster's M. Platengold fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Possession in this half belonged to revolucion, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

Most important Blaster player was L. Pochettino. P. Bevz turned in a dismal performance, however. revolucion's top performer was clearly É. Gleyze. P. Palomaa on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
