The strategy for empedrá was to use their ability to press. Today, arenas's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when M. Anfruns slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against R. Ortiz Molina, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. With 9 minutes played, P. Orihuela of arenas fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. With 21 minutes played J. Jelnikar almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. After 23 minutes, empedrá's M. Sáenz del Molino swiftly ran past J. Bacquet and nutmegged the keeper! 1 - 0. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 25 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when M. Iriart tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. empedrá pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. With 29 minutes played, empedrá's M. Sáenz del Molino almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. A. Oliva could have increased the lead after 32 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by empedrá, with 55 percent of the ball.

The bench was restless, and with 47 minutes passed arenas's coach gave G. Acuña the opportunity the player had been hoping for. J. Bacquet reluctantly left the field. After 50 minutes, arenas switched L. Hesler with T. Martin, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 52 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Barranco broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for empedrá. By now, the players in empedrá felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The empedrá players could smell victory in the air. A. Gama wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for M. Kupiński after 60 minutes. M. Sáenz del Molino unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; G. Acuña made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 81 minutes into the match. 82 minutes into the game, M. Barranco had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came K. Suykens. arenas were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. R. Ortiz Molina's name was chanted throughout the stadium after he made a fantastic save from G. Acuña's shot from the left 85 minutes into the match. M. Cromvoort of empedrá was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. empedrá put themselves up 3 - 1 when J. Jelnikar broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. empedrá claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

The most dominating empedrá player was without a doubt K. Suykens. On the other hand, E. Caurel's play was disheartening. M. Iriart performed admirably for arenas. T. Martin turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
