5 minutes into the game, kings had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. Always quick and a menace to his opponents, V. Mojica was very close to getting through after 23 minutes, but he could only put the ball into the keeper's arms. kings's C. Nuis tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. 38 minutes into the game, kings seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. kings fans held their breath as P. Fano scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! kings solidified their lead at the 42 minute mark, as H. Von Niederhäusern dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. 43 minutes in, j.m's R. Redondo received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Things were deteriorating for the away team as kings scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for G. Usai after 44 minutes. After 44 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and P. Fano gave the kings supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. It was 4 - 0 at the break. kings had most of the ball, with 77 percent of possession.

The kings players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. The referee showed j.m's R. Ortiz the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. kings put themselves up 5 - 0 when D. D'Ascanio broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Confident in their lead, kings's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After 65 minutes kings's G. Usai limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Cheers filled the stadium as P. Fano broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 6 - 0 to kings. That made three goals for P. Fano and he was marked down for the hat trick. With 79 minutes played, V. Castro of j.m fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. P. Fano increased the lead for kings to 7 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. D. D'Ascanio squirmed through their central defence after 83 minutes, increasing the lead to 8 - 0. 84 minutes into the game, kings seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. With 85 minutes played, kings put themselves up 9 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to D. Labayen Aranzabe, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Possession in this half belonged to kings, who controlled the ball 82 percent of the time.

kings's top performer was clearly P. Fano. However, D. D'Ascanio made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating j.m player was without a doubt A. Oñate. On the other hand, E. Bramuglia's play was disheartening. The match ends 9 - 0.
