A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Tricolor. The following players took the field: Juaçaba - Ferrara, Bárbaro, Jamnik - Espíndola, Uyanık, Sógor, Garcés - Bandeira, Valença, Pizarro.

Chorro decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Minetto - Sarid, Saharof, Hofbauer - Cataldo, Bruliński, Mulder, Giralte, Soikka - Obren, Svendsen.

Cataldo was the scorer. After 28 minutes Tricolor's E. Uyanık had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. P. Camariñas came in to replace him.

Cataldo a chance to increase the lead for Chorro, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. After 39 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave T.
