Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Charis Droumalias kicked off to start the match. In the 2nd match minute, Seahawks V55 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Grigoris Papaggelou to maneuver through the defense. In the 5th minute Charis Droumalias shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Loreto Palanques saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Hipolito Ponce got free with Iordanis Kopanakis in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 9 minutes into the match, AlmaToran's goal looked a bit too open when Manolis Kalergis came free, but Loreto Palanques reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 11 minutes into the match, AlmaToran's Chan Mariny sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Iordanis Kopanakis narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Arotza Dobarral kicked well hit freekick during the 17th minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Manolis Kalergis's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Loreto Palanques was relentless in the 21st minute of the game. The Seahawks V55 fans' excitement grew in the 21st match minute when Seahawks V55's Manolis Kalergis looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. If Arotza Dobarral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

Iordanis Kopanakis was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Hipolito Ponce was the one to do the kick off. Ntinos Papachronakos hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. After 56 minutes of play, AlmaToran's Arotza Dobarral made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Iordanis Kopanakis was left in no man's land by his defense there! A collision led to AlmaToran getting a freekick after 59 minutes play. Lope Lortia hit a great ball. Through an outstanding action, after 60 minutes, Loreto Palanques successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Arotza Dobarral struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Iordanis Kopanakis didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AlmaToran. AlmaToran's Peli Briñas was substituted for Hipolito Ponce. In the 69th match minute, AlmaToran was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Benicio Capellan to maneuver through the defense. In the 73rdth minute of the game Peli Briñas who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Seahawks V55's Iordanis Kopanakis was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When the match clock showed 75 minutes, the score became 3-1 when Peli Briñas sped through Seahawks V55's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Iordanis Kopanakis.

When the match had gone on for 95 minutes, Peli Briñas put it in 4-1 from a short distance just to the right of Iordanis Kopanakis. AlmaToran walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
