114 spectators had come to Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes this cloudy day. Albert Tuomainen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Augusto Moital and Heinrich Hühnerhaufen. Granadina tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Fransson - Menardo, Sühler, van Heusden - Scărlătescu, Elmirli, Fernández Cañete, Vázquez Herrero, Jakobsen - Bendig, Maestro.

Coreanos started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Cárdenas - Sorweid, Martín Aldea, Zuazo - Neves, Valsoni, Raguenel, Kallivoda-Koltay, Valenzuela - Faulkes, Buganim.

Granadina used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Coreanos seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Coreanos had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 13 minutes in when J. Zuazo came up alone against H. Fransson who managed a block. Granadina pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. Coreanos's U. Buganim was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 26 minutes. 36 minutes into the game, Granadina seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. After 37 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Granadina found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. The referee showed Coreanos's I. Martín Aldea the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Granadina broke through on the left 39 minutes into the game, with E. Jakobsen firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Coming through the middle C. Faulkes almost scored the equaliser for Coreanos after 40 minutes, but H. Fransson made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Coreanos, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

During the break, Granadina's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. 53 minutes in, Coreanos's T. Sorweid received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 55 minutes played, T. Bendig of Granadina fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. M. Menardo could have increased the lead after 58 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Coreanos's C. Faulkes put the ball in the onion bag after 66 minutes to make it 1 - 1. At this time in the match, Granadina were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. Down the middle came E. Kallivoda-Koltay, making a fantastic play that nearly had Coreanos take the lead after 74 minutes, but H. Fransson preserved the tie. Granadina's D. Fernández Cañete was shown a yellow card after 76 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when C. Neves was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 79 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! Priding himself in being an active coach, the Granadina manager gave new instructions to his players after 80 minutes. C. Faulkes of Coreanos was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Coreanos, with 60 percent of the ball.

Granadina's best player was E. Jakobsen. E. Elmirli was a disappointment, however. Most important Coreanos player was L. Valsoni. P. Cárdenas turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
