18357 spectators arrived at lorkineiroII Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Pedro Miguel Neto was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hugo Torsson and Umberto Staab. lorkineiroII tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Hernández - Ríos, de la Mata, Tortosa - Canadell, Salas, Romero, Sandoval, Hernández - Fresnillo, Raga.

Bahia started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Martorell - Winnicki, Furelos, Lachipa - Llavall, Verduyn, Balle, Parceiro, Ercüment - Hayen, Velasco.

lorkineiroII clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. 3 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but D. Lachipa, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 6 minutes allowed R. Winnicki to score for Bahia. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. K. Balle increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. With 15 minutes played, P. Sandoval of lorkineiroII fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from J. Velasco after 21 minutes, and prevented Bahia from going up another goal. The referee signalled a penalty 32 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. K. Balle knocked it home to make the score 0 - 3. lorkineiroII's D. Hernández was shown a yellow card after 33 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bahia, with 51 percent of the ball.

After 61 minutes, V. Raga had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for lorkineiroII with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. 62 minutes into the game Bahia managed a counterattack, but D. Hayen took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. With 74 minutes gone, lorkineiroII's P. Sandoval had to leave the pitch after talking back to the referee and receiving his second booking. The Bahia coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 75 minutes into the game. D. Hayen wanted to play on, but the Bahia coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 75 minutes into the game by R. Llidó. After a short break after 75 minutes, Bahia seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. J. Velasco left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 80 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. R. Codina was the replacement. 84 minutes into the game, Bahia worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. After 85 minutes, the defensive line of lorkineiroII created a counterattack through the middle that gave V. Raga a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. R. Winnicki really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by T. Verduyn after a corner. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Tortosa got himself booked. The manager of lorkineiroII was not happy. Bahia enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

The most dominating lorkineiroII player was without a doubt V. Salas. P. Ríos was a disappointment, however. D. Lachipa performed admirably for Bahia. However, R. Llidó made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
