After 2 minutes Barrena's G. Doriga limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Barrena's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 14 minutes gone, but K. Kischke's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Aitors's V. Egaña after 15 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Barrena, with 56 percent of the ball.

After 49 minutes of play, K. Kischke equalised for Barrena after an elegant attack from the right. As the 50 minute mark approached, the Barrena coach decided it was time for a substitution. K. Kischke reluctantly made way for K. Buniowski on the pitch. With 64 minutes played A. Kivijärvi almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. A. Rondônia would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. D. Nale entered the game for Aitors as the match clock showed 70 minutes. Barrena fans held their breath as W. Di Gregorio scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! Cheers filled the stadium as W. Di Gregorio broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 1 to Barrena. Possession in this half belonged to Barrena, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Barrena's top performer was clearly T. Skogtorp. On the other hand, J. Vivar's play was disheartening. Most important Aitors player was S. Ciordia. D. Nale was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
