ReyPoxo Stadium
Spectators: 7499 (Terracing: 5625, Seating: 1725, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Süreyya Çakar started the match with the kick off. After 4 minutes, Daniel Barral mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ReyPoxo and the ASLANAS players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 4th minute, Daniel Barral hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, ASLANAS's Orbay Kutunalp got a free kick in the 7th minute. Igor Quintana fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kerimhan Bürge having to interfere. In the 9th minute, Benvide Harroyo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Chano Iglesias didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Süreyya Çakar went, in the 11th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. When the match had gone on for 18 minutes, Barış Omay put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Chano Iglesias. After some careless play in the ReyPoxo defense, Barış Omay kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Chano Iglesias. The ReyPoxo fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Chano Iglesias should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Süreyya Çakar in the 38th minute of play forced ReyPoxo's goalkeeper Chano Iglesias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 41st minute of the game Ander Aguado made a throw-in which Moisés Castelao played forward. ReyPoxo's Chano Iglesias played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Süreyya Çakar in the 44th minute of play. After the first half ASLANAS were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Daniel Barral stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Igor Quintana received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Kerimhan Bürge tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 55 minutes, Süreyya Çakar mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ASLANAS and the ReyPoxo players grew even worse after the yellow card. Süreyya Çakar hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. 58 minutes into the game, Orbay Kutunalp recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Chano Iglesias. Orbay Kutunalp showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-4. If Igor Quintana had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. ReyPoxo's Chano Iglesias proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 78th minute of the match, managed to save ReyPoxo from getting a goal against them. Huly Pedrosa's late challenge caught a ASLANAS's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Huly Pedrosa helped the player get up and apologised. Süreyya Çakar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Chano Iglesias tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 83rd minute, Süreyya Çakar got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Chano Iglesias was out of position in the 85 minute of play, and Süreyya Çakar capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Süreyya Çakar really showed his touch with that goal: 0-5. The ReyPoxo fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. ASLANAS were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
