36545 spectators arrived at Camp Nou, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Urban Stefansson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kjell Öhrwald and Martin Martin. Barcelona started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. Starters: van Willegen - Griesshammer, Hietanen, Magne, Obszański - Bartels, Zjalić, Yecora, Coello, Anthoine - Engelsen.

Homa decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: Rolão - Abkar, Gutiérrez, Gökbayrak, Rifat - Usrael, Caridi, Pejić, Lupunen - Mokri, Edler.

Barcelona were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Homa used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Barcelona took the lead after 26 minutes as a result of A. Yecora's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Barcelona, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

Y. Mokri sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from P. Lupunen after 60 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 1. Making his way up the middle 61 minutes into the match, N. Magne almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert L. Rolão blocked it to keep the score level. Homa's A. Edler got himself booked for a foul. Barcelona were very close to putting themselves one up after 79 minutes as N. Magne got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Barcelona created a good opportunity to score 80 minutes into the match when U. Bartels's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, O. Engelsen got himself booked. The manager of Barcelona was not happy. Barcelona's M. Anthoine tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Barcelona enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

Barcelona's best player was A. Yecora. However, M. Obszański made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Homa player was without a doubt A. Edler. J. Pejić turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
