Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and El Serro Morado saw a crowd turnout of 30749. Erez Zvity was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pedro Cotera and Immo Peltola. Internacional decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Starters: Wittram - Sirias, Ortiz, Sáenz - Soboń, San Vicente, Brenes, Quesada - Solórzano, Mata, Björkgren.

Caballeros had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Figueroa - Bendaña, Redondo, Baltodano - Ugarte, Torres, 泽嘉 (Zejia) , Ramírez, Vallejos - Borud, Ortíz.

Caballeros took the lead 3 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. R. Borud was the scorer. The referee showed Caballeros's C. Bendaña the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. M. Mata was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Internacional's A. Prada had to come off the bench. After 27 minutes, Caballeros's E. Ortíz burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Internacional had no available replacements when T. Wittram had to leave the game after 29 minutes because of a pulled tendon, leaving the team a man short. With the goal left unguarded, G. Brenes had to leave his normal position and pick up the gloves. After 34 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for E. Ortíz who increased Caballeros's lead to 0 - 3. V. Ugarte's speed was clear to see after 36 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released R. Borud who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 0 - 4. Confident in their lead, Caballeros's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Caballeros, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

The Caballeros players could smell victory in the air. 宋. 泽嘉 (Zejia) wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for D. Sirias after 46 minutes. I. Ramírez increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. The visitors' R. Torres took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 68 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for Caballeros. After 69 minutes Internacional's I. Solórzano contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. With 82 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed R. Torres of Caballeros to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 7. The referee signalled a penalty 85 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. E. Ortíz knocked it home to make the score 0 - 8. At that, E. Ortíz was noted down for a hat trick! E. Ortíz of Caballeros took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 88 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 9. Caballeros enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Internacional's top performer was clearly A. Björkgren. However, G. Brenes made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Caballeros player was without a doubt E. Ortíz. On the other hand, R. Borud's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 9.
