With 56 minutes played, barçamarc's S. Drengsson found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. F. Escobar of barçamarc received a yellow card after 63 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. DAlgemesi's Z. Hanzali refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 64 minutes. After 66 minutes of play, F. Gehrig evened things up for barçamarc with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. Good work by the barçamarc defensive line after 68 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found F. Escobar alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. barçamarc had a chance to take the lead after F. Andújar's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 73 minutes. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit F. Gehrig just fine. barçamarc had a good opportunity to take the lead as M. Climovici came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of Ó. Gil Cano. barçamarc claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

N. Hörlund performed admirably for barçamarc. F. Andújar turned in a dismal performance, however. DAlgemesi's top performer was clearly R. La Cámara. Z. Hanzali on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
