Radulović preserved the tie. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 16 minutes into the match, and N. Lanzas Tenor wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The referee signalled a penalty 20 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. N. Goryashin knocked it home to make the score 0 - 2. esteañotampocosubim's N. Goryashin made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 23 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to esteañotampocosubim, who controlled the ball 71 percent of the time.

After 64 minutes esteañotampocosubim nearly put themselves up another goal from a penalty taken by N. Goryashin, but the keeper made an unbelievable save. After 66 minutes G. Tamilia made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to F. Marković who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 1 - 2. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave L. Radonjić from Arsenal a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 71 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! E. Yelpo was, after 75 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper Ð. Radulović made the save. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by esteañotampocosubim, with 79 percent of the ball.

L. Radonjić performed admirably for Arsenal. However, L. Novaković made a disastrous appearance. Most important esteañotampocosubim player was P. Ruiz. On the other hand, M. Yugueros's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
