junior tried to focus their attacks down the middle. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of records's E. Sanem after 7 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. After 19 minutes, W. Burgon got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. junior's A. Pirruccio made a successful breakthrough on the left after 23 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by junior, with 61 percent of the ball.

After 68 minutes, following yet another great corner, E. Coats's flick on at the near post reached R. Nijskens, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. junior's W. Burgon put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 75 minutes, but the ball went wide. records's J. Zaloña got himself booked for a foul. After 81 minutes, junior raised their score by one when A. Rubio de Barrio's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by A. Pirruccio. 1 - 1. records's M. Engler was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Due to a severely mistimed tackle, M. Szumilas of junior spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 85 minutes into the match, and T. Suijkerbuijk wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 1 - 2 for the visitors. junior had to manage with a reduced squad after 86 minutes, as E. Coats got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. junior tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. junior had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

junior's best player was S. Răducu. On the other hand, A. Pirruccio's play was disheartening. T. Suijkerbuijk performed admirably for records. J. Zaloña turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
