It had rained all day, but 26442 hardy fans still made it out to Castillo de Greyskull. Antonio Cantón was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sílvio Valverde and Jérôme Karotsch. Poseidón started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Schützbach - Winkelaar, Kleinhenz, Punkkinen - Gallati, Bengtsson, Abbema, Stoykov - Rönnemaa, Sallés, Rubín.

Turiaso decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: Barroso - Llovera, Faguaga, Canal, Duarte - Arenas, Avia, Quilis, Olazábal - Cucala, Ababa.

I. Kleinhenz did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. After 33 minutes Poseidón's T. Sallés limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The guests almost went up by a goal after 38 minutes when M. Olazábal came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Poseidón claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

T. Sallés would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. I. Monsalve entered the game for Poseidón as the match clock showed 46 minutes. D. Arenas neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to J. Cucala who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. J. Bengtsson gave Poseidón 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 The home side's L. Rubín came close to extending the lead 69 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but J. Barroso managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Possession in this half belonged to Poseidón, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

Most important Poseidón player was J. Bengtsson. I. Kleinhenz on the other hand, had a terrible day. Turiaso's best player was G. Avia. On the other hand, J. Cucala's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
