Angamos were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. The wings were the focus of most of bulla4ever's attacks today. bulla4ever were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. The guests took the lead 4 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in E. Dalla Rosa scoring to make it 0 - 1. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Angamos, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. After 5 minutes of play, A. Griffa equalised for Angamos after an elegant attack from the right. Angamos's A. Griffa soared above the crowd, but couldn't knock the corner home 7 minutes into the match. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 8 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from J. Villota, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Angamos had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. After 26 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and T. Squarise gave the Angamos supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 1. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like E. Dalla Rosa. With 30 minutes played, J. San Miguel could have brought this one home for Angamos as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. After 31 minutes, a counter attack by bulla4ever was converted into a decent free kick opportunity. However, the indirect free kick routine was easily anticipated by the defenders. A textbook example of how to defend a free kick - the attackers were left with few viable options. Halftime score was 3 - 1. Angamos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

F. Thamerus nearly reduced the lead 47 minutes into the game, but a splendid one-handed save by R. Ovando prevented the attempt coming in from the right flank from hitting the back of the net. It might be a while before the fans see bulla4ever's F. Mula again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 69 minute mark. He was replaced by J. Apel. After 73 minutes, O. Porras put Angamos ahead 4 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. C. Boldea was caught napping as R. Aragón lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper's arms. It was a bad day for the usually speedy J. Apel. The mud seemed to slow him down. Angamos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Angamos's best player was R. Aragón. T. Squarise was a disappointment, however. bulla4ever's top performer was clearly P. Koester. However, C. Boldea made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
