Atlético took a creative approach on the field. It was obvious that marko were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. marko's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but F. Elormendi struck it home without a second thought. 17 minutes into the match, J. Lorenzo came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. At this time in the match, marko were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. With 28 minutes played, J. Bennet of Atlético fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. marko's O. Širokovs was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - J. Lorenzo managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 2 after 30 minutes. Confident in their lead, marko's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Atlético didn't give in and with 42 minutes played S. Łapaj was able to make the score 1 - 2 after an attack on the right. With 43 minutes gone, marko had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, J. Lorenzo did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to marko, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the marko coach let Z. Kouyo replace E. Vidigal after 50 minutes. marko's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. As the match clock hit 56 minutes, marko regrouped to try and keep their initiative in the game. F. Elormendi high-fived A. Dozza as they swapped positions on the team. F. Elormendi wanted to play on, but the marko coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 57 minutes into the game by T. Rauff. A. Dozza left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 58 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Beas was the replacement. After 75 minutes, the marko players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. The crowd was on its feet 77 minutes into the match, as Atlético's L. Rosu found himself unmarked in front of the goal after a dash up the left side. He calmly put away the 2 - 2 equaliser. The terraces were silenced after 80 minutes when marko's O. Širokovs put the guests ahead 2 - 3, following an attack on the right. marko's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. No matter how hard he tried, S. Łapaj just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 86 minutes. marko enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

Most important Atlético player was L. Rosu. On the other hand, 王. 发达 (Fada)'s play was disheartening. The most dominating marko player was without a doubt J. Lorenzo. However, S. Lausmaa made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 3.
