Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Manu Kanu started the match with the kick off. Manu Kanu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Olov Wahlnäs having to interfere. 8 minutes into the match, C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07's goal looked a bit too open when Oscar Deckbergh came free, but Dalmu Lagunas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Dalmu Lagunas showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Uno Busk in the 11th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Tato Abadia managed to get in a good position for a shot. C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07's supporters rose to their feet, but Tato Abadia was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Olov Wahlnäs breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Manu Kanu's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Olov Wahlnäs firmly grabbed it by the left post. Tato Abadia kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. Per-Oskar Ahlstedt was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 30 minutes into the match. In a very dangerous position, a player in Vykans Vikingar fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 29th minute. Penalty! Olov Wahlnäs had in the 31stth minute some difficulties stopping Arrosko Cañadas's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. After 46 played minutes C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07 got a freekick which was hit by Rafael Titos. Vykans Vikingar's Hubert Gustafsson took a good shot, in the 47th minute, which hit the crossbar above Dalmu Lagunas's head, and flew over the goal. C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07's manager was very thankful on the sidelines as his team had managed to keep the ball out of the net after some serious pressure by Vykans Vikingar. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Dalmu Lagunas came out of the goal in the 52nd minute to try and stop a shot by Vykans Vikingar's Uno Busk. But to his dismay, Uno Busk quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Manu Kanu in the 55th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Olov Wahlnäs saved Vykans Vikingar from getting behind. After a rather tough play, C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07's Amarante Iniesta got a free kick in the 58th minute. In the 58th minute, Amarante Iniesta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 60 minutes, Rafael Titos mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07 and the Vykans Vikingar players grew even worse after the yellow card. Vykans Vikingar's Uno Busk got a good chance for a goal in the 61st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07 made a substitution. Salvador Palanques replaced Antero De Pedro. If Oriol Alvarez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 71st minute Oriol Alvarez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Olov Wahlnäs saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07 getting a freekick after 75 minutes play. Ventura Astudillo hit a great ball. In the 86th minute Ponce Delgado shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Olov Wahlnäs saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Olov Wahlnäs showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ponce Delgado in the 89th minute of the match. Olov Wahlnäs took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tato Abadia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

C.Atl.Torre Monreal 07's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
