Jabones Tocadores's Angel Gustau got a good chance for a goal in the 5th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The Jabones Tocadores fans' excitement grew in the 6th match minute when Jabones Tocadores's Tomás Papo 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. After a defensive mix-up in Jabones Tocadores's zone, Agatas Lavickas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Nestor Vermudo came out of the goal and Agatas Lavickas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Angel Gustau took the ball and in the 15 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Henrikas Damkus. Henrikas Damkus dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. If Agatas Lavickas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 24th minute, Angel Gustau 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. Angel Gustau might have been able to make a better finish in the 26th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Henrikas Damkus. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Angel Gustau ran back to his position shaking his head. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Angel Gustau in the 30th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Henrikas Damkus saved Harsh Gods from getting behind. Henrikas Damkus stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Tomás Papo's shot from short distance in the 37th minute.

Agatas Lavickas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 45 played minutes Jabones Tocadores got a freekick which was hit by Jaime Regis. After the first half Jabones Tocadores were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Angel Gustau to strike the kick off in the second half. When Angel Gustau in the 54th play minute got the chance to kick a hard shot on goal from short distance neither the defense or Henrikas Damkus kept up with the ball and suddenly the score was 0-4 when the ball slipped into goal inside the left pole. Henrikas Damkus stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Angel Gustau's shot from short distance in the 57th minute.

Angel Gustau scored 0-6 in the 86th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Henrikas Damkus, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 94 played minutes Harsh Gods got a freekick which was hit by Ovidijus Jarošas. When the match was over Jabones Tocadores could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Harsh Gods throughout the match.
