Cortelito decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Mucchi - Castaños, Fontcuberta, Uzal, Colmelo - Guzmán, Pomés, Hořínek, Neglia - Fasoli, Melis.

Many thought Constantin Marcu ought to have been awarded a penalty shot 9 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around Vincenzo Mucchi after a determined run through the middle. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, socceroos's Constantin Marcu got himself booked. With 30 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as Mats Johansson flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Cortelito's Zoltán Melis a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 33 minutes into the game. With 38 minutes played, socceroos put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball toConstantin Marcu, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. With 40 minutes played, Tommaso Fois could have brought this one home for socceroos as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. socceroos solidified their lead at the 41 minute mark, as Tommaso Foismanoeuvered the ball through the opposing central defence and finished for 3 - 0. Confident in their lead, socceroos decided to play a more defensive game at this point. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. socceroos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

The socceroos players could smell victory in the air. Daniel Illescas wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for Agripino Caranza after 46 minutes. Agripino Caranza was handed the socceroos captain's armband. After 60 minutes, Albert Marín Valleput socceroos ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. The socceroos players could smell victory in the air. Constantin Marcuwasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for Kalle-Matti Kotinurmi after 65 minutes. The coach of socceroos was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, José Ezpeleta came on for Albert Marín ValleZoltán Melis could've grabbed a goal for Cortelito 70 minutes in when he got a pass from the left putting him free of the home side's defence, but he was unable to take advantage of the situation. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Nicolas Moreau squirmed himself through their central defence after 74 minutes, bringing the lead to 5 - 0. José Ezpeletagave socceroos supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 6 - 0 after 77 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. Cheers filled the stadium as Kalle-Matti Kotinurmi broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the 7 - 0 goal for socceroos. Kalle-Matti Kotinurmi of socceroos was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The forty-five minutes were dominated by socceroos, with an impressive 70 percent possession of the ball.

socceroos's top performer was clearly Artur PfaffenzellerJosé Ezpeleta was a disappointment, however. Cortelito's top performer was clearly Ismael PomésPablo Castaños was a disappointment, however. The match ends 7 - 0.
