Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and
Miramar saw a crowd turnout of 30934.
Torquato Bottero was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Martino Sbattelia and
丁 (Ding) 文连 (Wenlian).

They fielded: Nežinský - Marmolejo, Mechura, Zegheru - Cachupín, Babarro, Stefansson, Bosch, Eguizábal - Pinot, Berg.
calis tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination.
The following players took the field: Vierzón - Calaza, Martínez, Xuiz, Ríos - Zúñiga Guzmán, Bate, Michal, Mehtä - Kvekšas, Dziadosz.
A.D. seemed to prefer attacking in the middle.
calis were relying on their ability to counter-attack.
J. Ríos showed his inexperience when he failed to anticipate the bounce of a high ball, allowing A.D.'s
J. Berg to take advantage and place a shot into the bottom corner of the goal. 1 - 0.
A great save by keeper
L. Vierzón after 28 minutes kept the visitors in the game after
B. Pinot struck from the left with a real cannonball.
D. Mechura unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide.
Coming in from the right, calis had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 31 minutes, but
F. Xuiz's attempt to finish was easily stopped.
The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0.
A.D. claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.
The A.D. players could smell victory in the air.
J. Berg wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for
C. Esquerdo after 49 minutes.
J. Bosch left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 55 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead.
N. Amayuelas was the replacement.
With 58 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience,
F. Xuiz needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed.
The coach of A.D. was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 59 minutes,
C. Caxiao came on for
I. Eguizábal.
calis's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 70 minutes gone, but
S. Calaza's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper.
It was obvious that team A.D. had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings.
A.D.'s
C. Caxiao saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 78 minutes.
After 79 minutes, calis surprised their opponents with a breakaway counter attack. The defenders had to resort to a foul to stop it. The free kick that followed was a clever indirect effort that almost succeeded, but the defence read the situation well and the intended recipient was left ruing what might have been.
M. Cachupín could have increased the lead after 84 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park.
Possession in this half belonged to A.D., who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.
Most important A.D. player was
B. Pinot.
On the other hand,
N. Amayuelas's play was disheartening.
The most dominating calis player was without a doubt
R. Zúñiga Guzmán.
C. Michal turned in a dismal performance, however.
The match ends 1 - 0.
