becis saw most attack opportunities on the wings. becis took the lead after 2 minutes as a result of F. Skarmpatonis's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. It might be a while before the fans see becis's B. Sargan again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 24 minute mark. He was replaced by G. Mouro. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by J. Roy. At last, becis's D. Vicente was able to backheel the ball in. 2 - 0. 27 minutes into the game, becis were awarded a penalty that K. Mattens turned into 3 - 0 without a problem. By now, the players in becis felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. RCZ enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

With 78 minutes played, K. Mattens could have brought this one home for becis as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. After 79 minutes, following yet another great corner, É. Masson's flick on at the near post reached A. Strömström, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. Given a free kick close to the byline, becis tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let A. Gutiérrez de León slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 4 - 0, 85 minutes into the game. P. Bagge nearly reduced the lead 86 minutes into the game, but a splendid one-handed save by G. Mouro prevented the attempt coming in from the right flank from hitting the back of the net. becis's A. Gutiérrez de León was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 87 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by RCZ, with 56 percent of the ball.

becis's top performer was clearly K. Mattens. However, G. Mouro made a disastrous appearance. RCZ's best player was J. Nicou. J. Scotland turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
