The first minutes of the match were of probing, with alternatives in the game and in the result.

One of the keys to the match was in the last ten minutes of the first half, a phase in which CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife achieved a partial score of 6 to 0 to open the gap on the scoreboard. Natalia Montilla established the tie and the partial was completed with the goals of Nagore Saenz (2), Gema Trujillo (2) and Danielle de Sousa.

The second half began with Alba González's goal for the visitors, quickly responding the locals with the goals of Lorena Montilla and Bruna Gonçalvez.
