Today, Trancura's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. At 3 minutes played, R. Betancourt came in from the right with the intention of giving Tono the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. The referee signaled a penalty for the home side after 18 minutes, amid vocal protests from the visitors. Tono fans erupted in celebration as R. Blanco rifled the ball into the the top corner. 1 - 0! Tono solidified their lead at the 21 minute mark, as E. Navarro dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. It was a bad day for the usually speedy T. Egberink. The mud seemed to slow him down. Trancura's I. Kargapoltsev got himself booked for a foul. Tono put in a good effort on the right, but R. Blanco saw his volley fly wide of the mark 38 minutes into the game. Trancura's J. Darmon was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 39 minutes. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Tono claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

Trancura certainly deserved a goal after some stunning play down the left, but T. Magleby just wasn't able to finish. P. de Matos was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Tono's J. Näf increasing the lead to 3 - 0. After 64 minutes, Trancura used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. As the game started to slip away for Trancura, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. After this, you could see that the players of Tono were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. C. Letra of Trancura received a yellow card after 74 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Tono's E. Navarro had an excellent opportunity after 79 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Cheers filled the stadium as E. Navarro broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to Tono. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Tono, with 58 percent of the ball.

Most important Tono player was D. Ragnstrand. R. Blanco on the other hand, had a terrible day. Trancura's top performer was clearly I. Kargapoltsev. T. Egberink turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
