2497 punters turned up at Sparta Kolosseum, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Julio Cabrito was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Guillaume Vielle and Custódio de Andrade. Weingarten tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. They fielded: Kudryakov - Sprenkelers, Ūlands - Vērbelis, Simonelli, Strasen, Penchev, Siravs - Popovs, Kristiansen, Losada Ozores.

A 3-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Tequila. The following players had been chosen: Maenhout - Boudier, Moneyn, Schottey - Bisoux, Fasselli, Perner, Walenkamp - Scheys, Campolo.

It was an obvious ambition of Weingarten to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. After 3 minutes, Tequila's G. Scheys made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. 11 minutes into the game, Tequila had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. Weingarten's K. Popovs put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 1 - 1 with 25 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. 26 minutes into the game, Tequila seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 31 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from G. Penchev, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Weingarten had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that Tequila had solid organisation. After 57 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Tequila found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to poor. Weingarten's V. Siravs increased the lead to 3 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 65 minutes. The home side's A. Losada Ozores curled a free kick home after 84 minutes, putting Weingarten ahead 4 - 1. A bit later, Tequila's G. Campolo easily reduced the lead to 4 - 2 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. After 87 minutes, A. Losada Ozores put Weingarten ahead 5 - 2 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Possession in this half belonged to Weingarten, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

Weingarten's top performer was clearly G. Penchev. M. Ūlands on the other hand, had a terrible day. S. Walenkamp performed admirably for Tequila. However, M. Moneyn made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 2.
