Spectators: 154 (Terracing: 116, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Yin Qiang Zhen started the match with the kick off. Osvaldo Potente received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Justo Baladi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, A.c Tre dei Frati's Xove Fombona got a free kick in the 12th minute. Xove Fombona charged in rather forcefully in the 15th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Xove Fombona the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 15th minute, Xove Fombona hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Yin Qiang Zhen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 21 minutes into the game, Yin Qiang Zhen was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. A.c Tre dei Frati's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Los Irrompibles the free kick. After 22 played minutes A.c Tre dei Frati got a freekick which was hit by Yin Qiang Zhen. After having played for 24 minutes, Osvaldo Potente managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. A.c Tre dei Frati's supporters crossed their fingers, but Osvaldo Potente was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Osvaldo Potente fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Justo Baladi having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Osvaldo Potente in the 32nd minute of play forced Los Irrompibles's goalkeeper Justo Baladi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 33rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Los Irrompibles's goalkeeper Justo Baladi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 36 minutes into the game, A.c Tre dei Frati's Osvaldo Potente nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Justo Baladi made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. A.c Tre dei Frati made a substitution. Florian Addario replaced Amine Barka. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Luka De Roeck was the one to do the kick off. Osvaldo Potente sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Pico Bădila stood somewhat misplaced when Luka De Roeck came free in front of goal and shot 1-1 to the left of him in the 54 minute. When the match clock showed 59 minutes, the score became 2-1 when Yin Qiang Zhen sped through Los Irrompibles's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Justo Baladi. When Osvaldo Potente came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the A.c Tre dei Frati 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 Osvaldo Potente couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Los Irrompibles booed when A.c Tre dei Frati was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 66 match minutes in a wonderful position. Florian Addario didn't get a good kick on the ball. Luka De Roeck's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Pico Bădila read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 67th minute of play. In the 68th match minute, Los Irrompibles was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gavino Cefero to maneuver through the defense. A.c Tre dei Frati made a substitution. Federico Di Muzio replaced Yin Qiang Zhen. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Osvaldo Potente in the 80th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Justo Baladi saved Los Irrompibles from getting behind. Osvaldo Potente scored 6-1 in the 92nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Justo Baladi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 95 played minutes Los Irrompibles got a freekick which was hit by Carlos Aballe. In the 96th minute, Osvaldo Potente 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. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. A.c Tre dei Frati fully deserved thier win.
