It was obvious that cervecero were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Rastas tried to focus their attacks down the middle. At this time in the match, cervecero were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. 0 - 1 was the score with 4 minutes played, after W. Burdisso cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Rastas. 41 minutes into the game, A. Capdevilla came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. Rastas had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. The unexpected cross pass from cervecero's A. Capdevilla after 42 minutes opened up the defence and was received by L. Gareca who finished off for 1 - 1. cervecero created a good opportunity to score 43 minutes into the match when L. Gareca's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Rastas, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

R. Maccianti had a good opportunity to give Rastas the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. Rastas took the lead 62 minutes into the game, making the score 1 - 2 after some elegant movement down the middle. J. Serra was the scorer. cervecero's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. cervecero needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes T. Britos made way for J. Aspiro. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, D. Lagable would have put Rastas up another goal 74 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The bench was restless, and with 75 minutes passed cervecero's coach gave S. Zeïdine the opportunity the player had been hoping for. G. Marras reluctantly left the field. 78 minutes in, cervecero's A. Lagable received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, cervecero's L. Gareca was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 83 minutes. M. D' Andrade was given a chance to change things around. Rastas had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

The most dominating cervecero player was without a doubt A. Lagable. A. Capdevilla on the other hand, had a terrible day. R. Maccianti performed admirably for Rastas. N. Damiani turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
