43939 spectators arrived at Nuevo Castalla, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Fredrik Danielsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Luis Cisneros and Torbjørn Helland. CA tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Nolan - Salvador, Kylmäniemi, Gröpels - Puigdomènech, Sánchez Barriga, Ginés, Brett, Toledo - Goenaga, Pareras.

LiveStronger started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Sulm - Dreszer, Ilarraza, Krizou, Silos - Del Valle, Nironi, Crepanes - Guschl, Pagliara, Abd Hamid.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of LiveStronger. A questionable penalty 6 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 1 - 0. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as J. Toledo knocked the ball home. After 7 minutes, the CA players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. The crowd was silenced 27 minutes into the match as the visiting team's A. Silos came in from the left, levelling the score to 1 - 1. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, E. Brett scored for CA putting them ahead 2 - 1, after 30 minutes. 2 - 1 was the score after the first half. CA claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

P. Pareras left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 70 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. M. De Schryver was the replacement. 72 minutes into the game, CA were awarded a penalty that J. Toledo turned into 3 - 1 without a problem. With 77 minutes played, CA put themselves up 4 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to M. Ginés, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 79 minutes into the game, CA seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. M. De Schryver had a fantastic opportunity to put CA up another goal 80 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. With 81 minutes gone, C. Ilarraza suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by LiveStronger caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. 82 minutes into the game, CA had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. LiveStronger's G. Guschl had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 86 minutes having been played. J. Cerrato was the replacement. After 87 minutes, LiveStronger switched N. Nironi with S. Heusch, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. With 88 minutes played, the LiveStronger coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. R. Peters van Ton came on, S. Heusch had to leave the fray. Possession in this half belonged to CA, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

N. Goenaga performed admirably for CA. On the other hand, T. Puigdomènech's play was disheartening. The most dominating LiveStronger player was without a doubt A. Abd Hamid. R. Peters van Ton was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
