It was an obvious ambition of Muora to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. VsS clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Muora's A. Soublette had a good first touch on the flank, but was crowded and, after a change of plan, sent the ball to L. Passalacqua who somehow managed to curl the ball wide. With 12 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as W. Trejo flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. E. Machado Martins had a fantastic opportunity to put Muora up another goal 24 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Players in Muora heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Muora put themselves up 2 - 0 when S. van Iperen broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. By now, the players in Muora felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Muora's A. Lasserre had an excellent opportunity after 40 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Attacking on the wings was the choice for Muora, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Muora claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 83 percent.

Muora's A. Soublette saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 50 minutes. VsS almost scored after a counterattack 51 minutes into the match, but K. Combelles took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. It was obvious that Muora had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Coming from the right, E. Machado Martins almost managed to score another goal for Muora, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. There was concern in the stands when, at the 82 minute mark, Muora's A. da Penela hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Muora to 3 - 0 as E. Machado Martins finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. With 84 minutes of the game having been played, G. Pecheux received a blow to the hip in a collision and was unable to continue. VsS, with no available replacements, now faced the prospect of finishing the game with a reduced number of players. After 85 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and A. Salgueiro gave the Muora supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Muora, with 86 percent of the ball.

Most important Muora player was M. Barros. However, W. Trejo made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating VsS player was without a doubt K. Revol. On the other hand, J. Tyrna's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 0.
