2945 spectators had found their way to Pan con Palta Bowl, despite the heavy rain. Lucien Nederlof was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jonathan MacTier and Ernst Payer. Canarios had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: van der Heyden - Machotka, Kłopotowski, Anda - Sierralta, Frischl, Guzmán Zarpas, Ronfolaturro, Caraúba - Aláez, Ríos.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for LacosteCrew. They fielded: Conde - Mellemstrand, Liljestrand, Ahmed - Korsnes, Jepsen, Fauconnet, Lacoste - Hardiquest, Dadashi, Fernández Chicharro.

Today, LacosteCrew's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. LacosteCrew's S. Dadashi managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 4 minutes. 0 - 1. Due to some great work on the right wing Canarios's F. Ronfolaturro was able to even the score after 19 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. S. Dadashi spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. A questionable penalty 23 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 2 - 1. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as R. Aláez knocked the ball home. A. Conde was caught napping as R. Aláez lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper's arms. With 31 minutes played, Canarios's F. Ronfolaturro almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. 2 - 1 was the halftime score. Canarios claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

64 minutes in, LacosteCrew's L. Fauconnet received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 65 minutes, S. Kłopotowski put Canarios ahead 3 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. By now, the players in Canarios felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but W. Guzmán Zarpas showed great heart and had a good game. Cheers filled the stadium as K. Anda broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 1 to Canarios. W. Guzmán Zarpas wanted to play on, but the Canarios coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 69 minutes into the game by M. Cuevas. R. Aláez left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 69 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. R. Besonias was the replacement. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Canarios's F. Ronfolaturro increasing the lead to 5 - 1. J. Caraúba was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. LacosteCrew's O. Ahmed left the field after 81 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was M. Drăgulin. Canarios solidified their lead at the 85 minute mark, as M. Cuevas dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 6 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Canarios, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

Canarios's best player was F. Ronfolaturro. R. van der Heyden turned in a dismal performance, however. M. Drăgulin performed admirably for LacosteCrew. However, A. Lacoste made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 6 - 1.
