va started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. Starters: Chongbin - Villametide, Meurer, Badea, Ohmsen, Sirap - Grytten, Segalés, Pamidorau, Aleti - 群荣 (Qunrong).

Today, va's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. A lovely run by va's H. Grytten left his markers for dead and should have resulted in a goal, but the finish went just wide. Carriedo took the lead 24 minutes in, as V. Petretto broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. The visitors' L. Villametide was alert after a cross coming in from the left, levelling the score at 1 - 1 after 25 minutes. va had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. va's A. Pamidorau could have put the guests one up after 26 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but G. Martinecz was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. The terraces were silenced after 27 minutes when va's D. Sirap put the guests ahead 1 - 2, following an attack on the right. The va free kick 30 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of T. Meurer, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 1 - 3! A. Pamidorau increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 4. Halftime score was 1 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by va, with 59 percent of the ball.

张. 群荣 (Qunrong) wanted to play on, but the va coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by A. Kosović. The home crowd was not impressed when H. Grytten came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 57 minutes. va were now up 1 - 5. At this point, it was obvious that the players of va lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 59 minutes into the game, va were awarded a penalty and R. Segalés was able to increase the visitors' lead to 1 - 6 rolling the ball in by the right post. va increased their lead after 81 minutes when A. Kosović broke through on the right, upping the score to 1 - 7, much to the home crowd's dismay. With 82 minutes played, va put themselves up 1 - 8 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was H. Grytten. The va players could smell victory in the air. H. Grytten wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Neculñir after 89 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to va, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Most important Carriedo player was C. Buxeiro. On the other hand, B. Połcik's play was disheartening. va's top performer was clearly L. Chongbin. J. Neculñir turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 8.
