Spectators: 7460 (Terracing: 5596, Seating: 1715, VIP seats: 149) FC Devils's Luis Alberto Kiepski started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Ceferino Beltxe kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. After 5 minutes, Aaron Clemencin mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ATE AFC and the FC Devils players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 5th minute, Aaron Clemencin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Grzegorz Dembkowski took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 6th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Higinio Garikoitz. ATE AFC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Nicolas Zapata got free with Kajetan Soroka in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Luis Alberto Kiepski took the ball and in the 11 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Higinio Garikoitz. Higinio Garikoitz dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 21 minutes into the match, FC Devils's goalkeeper Kajetan Soroka had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nicolas Zapata. After 26 played minutes ATE AFC got a freekick which was hit by Aaron Clemencin. Grzegorz Dembkowski was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 26th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 28 minutes into the match, FC Devils's goal looked a bit too open when Edy Cabanis came free, but Kajetan Soroka reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After 29 played minutes, FC Devils's Grzegorz Dembkowski shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Higinio Garikoitz came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in FC Devils reached it. If Mikolaj Cwojdak had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match had gone on for 35 minutes, Luis Alberto Kiepski put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Higinio Garikoitz. In the 41st minute, Emílio Escobar made a precise shot to the right of Higinio Garikoitz. ATE AFC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. After 45 minutes of play, FC Devils's Mikolaj Cwojdak made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Higinio Garikoitz was left in no man's land by his defense there! Disappointed in the 0-4 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Gustavo Librić made the kick off in the second half. ATE AFC's Higinio Garikoitz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Luis Alberto Kiepski in the 55th minute of play. After having played for 56 minutes, Emílio Escobar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Devils's supporters crossed their fingers, but Emílio Escobar was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Mikolaj Cwojdak recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 62nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Higinio Garikoitz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mikolaj Cwojdak in the 66th minute of play. 68 minutes into the game, Luis Alberto Kiepski lined in a short shot 0-5 behind a frustrated Higinio Garikoitz.
