Valencia had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Malantrucco - Poels, Badan, Esposti - Benkotić, Widmayer, Mugione, Quintana, Rafart - von Langenn-Steinkeller, Jeauneau.

Villadino almost scored after a swift counterattack 11 minutes into the game, but J. Olalalde put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. Villadino's P. Lapuente Mazo was shown a yellow card after 36 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 37 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as F. von Langenn-Steinkeller flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Coming from the right, D. Poels almost managed to score another goal for Valencia, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Valencia, with 61 percent of the ball.

The referee showed Valencia's F. von Langenn-Steinkeller the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 56 minutes into the match, A. Esposti could have extended the lead, but his powerful free kick went just over the bar. The home side's J. Jeauneau came close to extending the lead 72 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but J. Sama managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Valencia had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

Valencia's best player was J. Widmayer. On the other hand, A. Esposti's play was disheartening. Villadino's top performer was clearly J. Sama. T. Rebollo Morcillo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
