F. Cabrera did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. España took the lead 27 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as I. Branis elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. R. Valpuesta squirmed through their central defence after 28 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. I. Branis of España received a yellow card after 31 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 39 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and I. Branis gave the España supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. Confident in their lead, España's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After 41 minutes, España's R. Quesada found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 4 - 0. R. Valpuesta had a fantastic opportunity to put España up another goal 42 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to España, who controlled the ball 81 percent of the time.

L. Gacha increased the lead for España to 5 - 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! After 66 minutes, D. Del Valle put España ahead 6 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, España's R. Valpuesta somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for D. Baigorrí, who struck for 7 - 0. D. Del Valle of España was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. España solidified their lead at the 75 minute mark, as I. Branis dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 8 - 0. At that, I. Branis was noted down for a hat trick! 77 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as D. Del Valle broke through, making the score 9 - 0 for España. España enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 87 percent of possession.

The most dominating España player was without a doubt R. Quesada. S. Arias was a disappointment, however. Most important Candela player was C. Espeleta. N. Bóveda on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 9 - 0.
