E. Santiago sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from C. Argüelles after 6 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 1. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for -BARCELONA, but M. Sociats's shot went over the bar. -BARCELONA's T. Monturiol was shown a yellow card after 37 minutes for slicing down an opponent. In a fantastic display of determination, yuyi's C. Argüelles forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 39 minutes played, V. Crujeiras of -BARCELONA made the score 1 - 1. -BARCELONA's V. Crujeiras left the field after 42 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was N. El-Khafi. After 43 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. A. Orihuela easily put the ball away to give the lead to -BARCELONA. 2 - 1 2 - 1 was the halftime score. -BARCELONA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

With 63 minutes played, -BARCELONA's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to P. Tainta he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 3 - 1. -BARCELONA's P. Tainta increased the lead to 4 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 69 minutes. There was concern in the stands when, at the 74 minute mark, -BARCELONA's I. Serra hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. -BARCELONA put themselves up 5 - 1 when T. Monturiol broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. After this, you could see that the players of -BARCELONA were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by -BARCELONA, with 68 percent of the ball.

J. Villa performed admirably for -BARCELONA. P. Ruhí turned in a dismal performance, however. yuyi's best player was R. Pérez de Tejada. On the other hand, J. Pascual's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 1.
