The match, played at the Snows Stadium in Totton (Southampton), ended with a 0-2 victory for the B team, which allows VCF Mestalla to maintain their chances of qualifying for the 1/4 finals as the third classified team with the obligation to beat Chelsea FC in the last matchday and wait for other results.
The VCF Mestalla reserve team faced the match with some notable absentees in their lines, but with the ambition to get a victory that had so far eluded them against West Ham (1-0) and Brighton and Hove Albion (3-2).
