Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ximenez Almarza took the kick off in the first half of the match. 4 minutes into the match, Alberto Tafalla notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Warlocks -CR-'s Sergio Armoña. Sergio Armoña was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience thought a goal was coming when Zeru Velarroa got free with Dante Lacasa in the 30th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The referee felt a red card was in order, 43 minutes into the game, when Xzaiver Navarro put in a rough tackle. The supporters of Mexico booed when Warlocks -CR- was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Xzaiver Navarro didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Joel Gaona managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Joel Gaona was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sergio Armoña breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joel Gaona made a kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Warlocks -CR-'s goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Tafalla came free, but Sergio Armoña reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 52nd minute of the match Mexico got a corner. Warlocks -CR-'s goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Joel Gaona ran over to the corner to take the kick. Warlocks -CR-'s Sergio Armoña played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joel Gaona in the 54th minute of play. Sergio Armoña made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alberto Tafalla in the 64th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 78th minute, Lautaro Mancebo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Lautaro Mancebo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sergio Armoña breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Warlocks -CR- made a substitution. Xamo Ontavilla replaced Boris Adames. Warlocks -CR-'s Sergio Armoña proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 87th minute of the match, managed to save Warlocks -CR- from getting a goal against them. Warlocks -CR-'s Zeru Velarroa got a good chance for a goal in the 89th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Sergio Armoña was out of position in the 92 minute of play, and Lautaro Mancebo capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Lautaro Mancebo really showed his touch with that goal: 0-3. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ximenez Almarza in the 96th minute of play forced Mexico's goalkeeper Dante Lacasa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mexico played a much better game than Warlocks -CR- and deserved their victory. The Warlocks -CR- players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
