Today, Juanche's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. J. Legobien caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 6 minutes. This gave Juanche the 1 - 0 lead. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but M. Navarro showed great heart and had a good game. Juanche managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when A. Lomberti cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Juanche's E. Insausti swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. j.j.moreno mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 31 minutes, but R. Soto Barón was unable to convert from short range. After 32 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by J. Legobien might have resulted in another goal for Juanche. However, B. Montilla made a spectacular save. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Juanche, with 52 percent of the ball.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Juanche coach let A. Artzubieta replace N. Kampitakis after 62 minutes. j.j.moreno breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 67 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. The Juanche players could smell victory in the air. O. Zuza wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for P. Vicente after 70 minutes. j.j.moreno had a fair chance to reply after 76 minutes due to some fine moves down the left, but in the end I. Desimone was slow to keep up with the play and was unable to make it into the penalty box to apply a finish. Juanche's A. Artzubieta saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 78 minutes. After 79 minutes, j.j.moreno sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached M. Navarro, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 2 - 1. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Juanche's J. Legobien somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for M. Pasch, who struck for 3 - 1. Juanche's A. Lomberti increased the lead to 4 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 84 minutes. The players of Juanche now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Juanche enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

Juanche's best player was M. Pasch. On the other hand, A. Roos's play was disheartening. Most important j.j.moreno player was F. Giulietti. However, R. Navajas made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
