valjoaco showed off their creative tactics. 0 - 1 was the score with 24 minutes played, after Z. Salomon cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for valjoaco. O. Ferré didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. Jedi_KaRuRoSu tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. 35 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as N. England finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The visitors' Z. Salomon took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 40 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for valjoaco. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Jedi_KaRuRoSu claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Jedi_KaRuRoSu's S. Molins was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. T. Pelliser was given a chance to change things around. I. Pecci became the new Jedi_KaRuRoSu captain. The coach of valjoaco was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 60 minutes, C. van Veggel came on for N. England. After 62 minutes, valjoaco's G. Skærlund burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. 64 minutes into the game Jedi_KaRuRoSu broke through on the left wing and G. Plazaola managed to reduce the lead to 1 - 4. After 66 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Jedi_KaRuRoSu found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. At 72 minutes into the game, Jedi_KaRuRoSu's F. Bilbao deftly knocked the ball home after an impressive run down the left, reducing the visitors' lead to 2 - 4. B. Ünal increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 2 - 5. By now, the players in valjoaco felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. B. Ünal received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 83 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 6. The valjoaco fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by valjoaco, with 54 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Jedi_KaRuRoSu player was without a doubt F. Bilbao. I. Pecci turned in a dismal performance, however. valjoaco's top performer was clearly J. Malfatti. On the other hand, C. Cost's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 6.
