Xerez started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Kúnev - Zahafi, Atotxa, Gaona - Ofer, Lucini, Provost, Hejcman, Milixosa - Kask, Manzano.

gordas decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Domínguez - Sandí, Demetri, Villalba - Cabranes, Tağan, Campilongo, Cuadrillero, Vinterbratt - Miniño, Marello.

Today, Xerez's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The wings were the focus of most of gordas's attacks today. Some things can only be learned through experience, and E. Atotxa should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting gordas a goal with 6 minutes of the match played. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 7 minutes into the match left gordas's C. Marello completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. F. Hejcman was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Xerez with a strike from the left, but M. Domínguez managed to ward the shot off for a corner. With 16 minutes played, after a good run down the left, L. Kask went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. No matter how hard he tried, R. Manzano just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 19 minutes. With the clock showing 20 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of gordas resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by Á. Cabranes in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Xerez, with 53 percent of the ball.

Xerez needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes J. Ofer made way for E. Rostgaard. The coach of gordas was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, R. Porras came on for M. Domínguez. Attacking on the wings was the choice for gordas, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. 51 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as C. Marello finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. B. Villalba wanted to play on, but the gordas coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 53 minutes into the game by C. Bala. With 60 minutes played, the Xerez coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. M. Goretti came on, L. Kask had to leave the fray. M. Goretti challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 69 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. The head of Á. Cabranes connected with a corner kick after 77 minutes, and the ball ended up with M. Campilongo of gordas who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 0 - 3. C. Marello left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 78 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. J. Landín was the replacement. A drive down the left side allowed H. Miniño to get in close and score another goal for gordas after 79 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 4. After this, you could see that the players of gordas were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Xerez had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Xerez's best player was M. Goretti. However, H. Kúnev made a disastrous appearance. gordas's top performer was clearly D. Tağan. J. Landín turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
