2478 punters turned up at San Miguel Stadium, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came.

The following players had been chosen: Göze - Soldevila, Kıran, Frömert - Vahter, Mistlbachner, Wieroński, Vihattula, Gaudron - Sáenz, Porthan.

Racing started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Šereda - Šerák, Peřina, Drtina - Skřivan, Arslan, Langhammer, Hozjan, Janouš - Cichra, Peksa.

Racing clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Saravillo's V. Porthan refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 4 minutes. D. Wieroński hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Saravillo's M. Gaudron an easy chance to knock it in for 1 - 0. One of many good crosses from C. Janouš on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by P. Cichra, who scored for Racing. 1 - 1 The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 20 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from J. Soldevila, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. P. Vahter increased the lead for Saravillo to 3 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! It was obvious that team Racing had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. 3 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Saravillo, with 52 percent of the ball.

Coming from the right, H. Vihattula almost managed to score another goal for Saravillo, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. After 68 minutes, H. Vihattula put Saravillo ahead 4 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Against a lesser team, Racing could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 79 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. After 80 minutes Racing's Š. Skřivan limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The home team's fans were upset when, after 81 minutes, the visiting M. Peksa broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 4 - 2 was the score. Saravillo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Saravillo's best player was D. Wieroński. V. Porthan on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Racing player was A. Hozjan. However, J. Šerák made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 2.
