Fardatxos decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Persson - Novac, Raychev, Tabarrini - Quesada, Helbo, Bernal, Bruni, Ferrà - Pérez, Carbonés.

Eckmül tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Gailliez - Chanteur, Minh Hải, Onurad - Roisin, Verkest, Bradley, Kolczyk, Vienne - Verreckt, Bauweraerts.

It was obvious that Eckmül were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Fardatxos took the lead 6 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as F. Helbo elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. F. Tabarrini received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 7 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. After 19 minutes, Fardatxos's F. Helbo found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 2 - 0. Eckmül pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. 28 minutes into the game, Eckmül's attack got through on the right, but L. Minh Hải couldn't handle the ball and his feeble kick wound up in the keeper's arms. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Fardatxos, with 51 percent of the ball.

At this time in the match, Eckmül were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. A great save by keeper M. Gailliez after 60 minutes kept the visitors in the game after F. Helbo struck from the left with a real cannonball. The crowd roared its approval when M. Persson somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by Eckmül's C. Roisin 73 minutes into the game. With 77 minutes played, Fardatxos's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to A. Quesada he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 3 - 0. Fardatxos had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Fardatxos's top performer was clearly A. Bernal. G. Ferrà turned in a dismal performance, however. Eckmül's best player was A. Chanteur. However, A. Kolczyk made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 0.
