inter decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Runturambi - Torres, Baker, Thortorp - Daners, Jorgačević, Patey, Retteich, Ezquieta - Zanella, Siironen.

P. Thortorp of inter was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The rain made it hard for players like X. Sans to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. With 30 minutes played, H. Daners of inter fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After 42 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as inter found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to solid. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Bacanal had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

During the break, inter's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. V. Retegui gave Bacanal 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 referee showed inter's M. Retteich the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 56 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by X. Mas might have resulted in another goal for Bacanal. However, M. Runturambi made a spectacular save. 57 minutes into the match, X. Mas could have extended the lead, but his powerful free kick went just over the bar. With 58 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of inter resulted in a counterattack that set L. Zanella free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. M. Ezquieta made a good effort at breaking through on the right, but the home team's left defence cleared the ball to a corner. 66 minutes into the game, inter had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. Bacanal enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Bacanal's best player was V. Retegui. H. Arenas turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating inter player was without a doubt É. Patey. M. Ezquieta on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
