HUINKA started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Sales - Remin, Gallucci, González Santa Cruz - Malavazos, Hökborg, Serrano, Anderwald, Gras - Tobiasson, Martin.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Pinsoque. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 2 minutes into the match left HUINKA's F. Martin completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The referee showed Pinsoque's J. Maiztegui Sabatto the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 12 minutes of game time, M. Gallucci had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but B. Espadilha was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. There was concern in the stands when, at the 15 minute mark, Pinsoque's U. Avitan hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. A drive down the left side allowed M. Gras to get in close and score another goal for HUINKA after 24 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, B. Gündal got himself booked. The manager of Pinsoque was not happy. The home crowd cheered when, after 35 minutes, B. Anderwald's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. HUINKA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

After 51 minutes, M. Hökborg made a complete fool of himself when he presented the ball to the feet of G. Reina who smashed it into the open goal for Pinsoque. 1 - 2. 56 minutes into the game, HUINKA worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. 58 minutes in, HUINKA's M. Gras received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 64 minutes into the match, M. Hökborg came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Pinsoque's U. Avitan got himself booked for a foul. C. Remin found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. The sun seemed to put P. Malavazos in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. T. Tobiasson increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 3. At this time in the match, Pinsoque were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. P. Malavazos was, after 84 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper B. Espadilha made the save. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by HUINKA, with 60 percent of the ball.

J. Maiztegui Sabatto performed admirably for Pinsoque. C. Arregui was a disappointment, however. HUINKA's best player was F. Martin. However, C. Remin made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 3.
