Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 43306 to Obizajesh Arena. Eduardo Romero was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jiří Zaspal and Josef Pružina. Obizajesh tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Cals - Georgescu, Hansen, Imhoff - Bloch, Stokenbergs, Fifić, Pirker, Shaulin - Monteiro Mendes, Van Hecke.

Kubele started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Saulītis - Janēns, Jākobsons, Zirneklis, Riekstiņš - Kaikarys, Paipals, Tauriņš, Brasa - Zariņš, Armanis.

Obizajesh had a good opportunity to take the lead as J. Monteiro Mendes came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of R. Saulītis. G. Bloch fired a shot from distance after 17 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for Obizajesh. With 26 minutes played B. Imhoff almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Obizajesh, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

A. Pirker gave Obizajesh the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 J. Monteiro Mendes should probably have put his team up another goal after 72 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by R. Saulītis kept the visitors in the game. Kubele's S. Zirneklis was shown a yellow card after 77 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Obizajesh had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

Most important Obizajesh player was J. Monteiro Mendes. G. Bloch turned in a dismal performance, however. J. Janēns performed admirably for Kubele. R. Paipals on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
