Hibai Luna sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Samurai booed when Oylimpiamos Ψ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ovando Fandiño didn't get a good kick on the ball. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Hibai Luna was the one to do the kick off. When Gutierre Avina came up free with the goalie in the 53rd minute, the Oylimpiamos Ψ fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gutierre Avina couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Samurai booed when Oylimpiamos Ψ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. Frutos Villaraud didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Oylimpiamos Ψ's zone, Roger Klemensson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Evis Rafecas came out of the goal and Roger Klemensson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Santi Villafranca succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-1 in the 71st playminute. Ovando Fandiño kicked well hit freekick during the 76th minute of the match. When Roger Kalfhage came up free with the goalie in the 77th minute, the Samurai fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Roger Kalfhage couldn't finish the play. 79 minutes into the match, Samurai's goal looked a bit too open when Hibai Luna came free, but Fredrik Bennet reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Elliott Bennet recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 84th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The nice shot from Santi Villafranca in the 87thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Fredrik Bennet had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Santi Villafranca let the left foot speak when in front of goal in the 87th minute shot 1-2 at rihgt post. Santi Villafranca's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Fredrik Bennet firmly grabbed it by the left post. Fredrik Bennet made a fantastic save in the 95th minute, when Santi Villafranca sent off a good shot on target. After 96 minutes, Roger Kalfhage mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Samurai and the Oylimpiamos Ψ players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Oylimpiamos Ψ booed when Samurai was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Roger Kalfhage didn't get a good kick on the ball. Oylimpiamos Ψ played a much better game than Samurai and deserved their victory. The Samurai players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
