The visitors grabbed the lead after N. Senna's free kick succeeded, resulting in a score of 0 - 1. With 33 minutes played, Rappl-Speer's N. Senna missed a penalty when the keeper made a premature dive in the right direction, and palmed the ball out of the way. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Sporting, with 51 percent of the ball.

The head of C. Vissing connected with a corner kick after 54 minutes, and the ball ended up with O.

Achenbach a quick hug as he left the field. Rappl-Speer took the lead after 71 minutes making the score 1 - 2. H. Mark placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. H. Mark wanted to play on, but the Rappl-Speer coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 80 minutes into the game by X. Tourón. Given a free kick close to the byline, Sporting tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let E. Achenbach slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 2 - 2, 83 minutes into the game. Rappl-Speer's C. Atıf gave the visitors a 2 - 3 lead after 85 minutes with a superb strike from the right. Possession in this half belonged to Rappl-Speer, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

E. Achenbach performed admirably for Sporting. However, V. Cambra made a disastrous appearance. Rappl-Speer's best player was V. Milanov. On the other hand, 管. 群光 (Qunguang) 's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 3.
