Pampilhosa tried to focus their attacks down the middle. The wings were the focus of most of Pistas's attacks today. Many thought P. Comacchio ought to have been awarded a penalty 4 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around M. Nordheim after a determined run through the middle. E. Piano of Pistas was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. They were singing the praises of C. Baldassi 7 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Pampilhosa. Cheers filled the stadium as C. Baldassi broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Pampilhosa. The players of Pampilhosa now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Pampilhosa's C. Baldassi increasing the lead to 3 - 0. This third goal completed a hattrick for C. Baldassi. It was 3 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Pampilhosa, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Pampilhosa to 4 - 0 as L. Urueña finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. L. Saturnetti left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 60 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. Q. Flahaux was the replacement. Pampilhosa's Q. Flahaux saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 65 minutes. L. Urueña wanted to play on, but the Pampilhosa coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 65 minutes into the game by I. Mosce. Pampilhosa had to make a substitution after 72 minutes. C. Baldassi limped off the field and was replaced by L. Ruiz Diaz. With 82 minutes played, Pampilhosa put themselves up 5 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to T. Malmflod, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Pérez from Pistas a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 84 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Pampilhosa enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

The most dominating Pampilhosa player was without a doubt Á. Nunes. However, E. Milone made a disastrous appearance. Pistas's top performer was clearly E. Piano. On the other hand, A. Zuccato's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 0.
