Spectators: 7530 (Terracing: 5649, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) Thibaut Courtois came out of the goal in the 5th minute to try and stop a shot by MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12's Eduardo Pio. But to his dismay, Eduardo Pio quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. After 17 minutes of play, Tabachana F.C.'s Rafael Leão made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12's Cristian Federigo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rafael Leão in the 48th minute of play.

The wind increased when Desiderio Oidor made the kick off in the second half. Cristian Federigo was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Michalis Kasselakis showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-3 in the 53 minute of play. 2-4 became the score in the 56th minute when Thomas Okkas elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar.

Cristian Federigo made a fantastic save in the 78th minute, when Rafael Leão sent off a good shot on target. If Desiderio Oidor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12 getting a freekick after 89 minutes play. Luis Soter hit a great ball. The audience was convinced that Michalis Kasselakis's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cristian Federigo was relentless in the 90th minute of the game. The audience thought a goal was coming when Notis Trachanas got free with Cristian Federigo in the 91st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.
