Calvos de Randín got himself booked for a foul. Making his way up the middle 31 minutes into the match, X. Aguin almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert A. Escrivà blocked it to keep the score level. 32 minutes into the game, M. Gavarret finished off a Tomillo left wing counterattack, making the score 1 - 2. 37 minutes in, Picota's X. Aguin received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A. Jansson could have scored for Picota with his free kick after 38 minutes, but the visitors' keeper just managed to get a hand on it. Picota tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. Tomillo had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 40 minutes, but R. Beneš's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Picota claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

Picota's D. Calvos de Randín put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 51 minutes, but the ball went wide. The home crowd was not impressed when M. Val Montes came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 55 minutes. Tomillo were now up 1 - 3. With 70 minutes played, the Picota coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. C. Merlet came on, A. Bouzón had to leave the fray. Picota needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes P. Cosnefroy made way for C. Spãtaru. 78 minutes into the game, D. Sancha had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came S. Gjendem. S. Gałuszka was called on to replace Tomillo's S. Straver after 84 minutes following a nasty collision. Tomillo increased their lead after 87 minutes when E. Kolis broke through on the right, upping the score to 1 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 88 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave L. Badiola a chance to increase the lead for Tomillo, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Picota, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Picota's best player was D. Calvos de Randín. However, L. Baião made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Tomillo player was without a doubt M. Gavarret. On the other hand, S. Gałuszka's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 5.
