32187 spectators arrived at Vicente Calderón, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Jordan Ruisendaal was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Volkert Preenen and Tejs Lindekvist. All of Madrid was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. United had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Cabanas - Mila Fuentes, Gili, Ghanam - Dingo, González, Pérez Alonso, Altozano, Bennasar - Beira, Yepes Millán.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Longares. Lineup: Grieco - Vásáros, Rogelboeck, Klett - Sermet, Vesmiņš, Aksentijević, Gómez, Arasa - Gerasch, Kelhar.

A badly positioned defensive formation on a free kick after 28 minutes led to Longares's S. Kelhar giving the visitors the lead 0 - 1. The home crowd cheered when, after 30 minutes, M. Aksentijević's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. A counterattack by United after 31 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but J. Yepes Millán, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. Longares had to make a substitution after 33 minutes. P. Grieco limped off the field and was replaced by M. Rapushaj. Following a foul after 34 minutes, United got themselves a free kick just outside the penalty area. J. Yepes Millán levelled the scoreline - 1 - 1. The referee showed United's J. Bennasar the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Longares, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

H. Vásáros came close to putting the visiting team one up 54 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but H. Cabanas managed to tip the ball to a corner. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Dingo from United a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 80 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A loud groan was heard from the fans of Longares, as P. Klett left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. F. Hadač took his place on the field. F. Hadač was the new captain of Longares - handed the armband by the departing player. Down the middle came E. Gerasch, making a fantastic play that nearly had Longares take the lead after 83 minutes, but H. Cabanas preserved the tie. 85 minutes into the game, M. Gómez had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. 86 minutes in, Longares's S. Kelhar received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for United, L. Pérez Alonso was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. M. Pérez Camacho replaced him. 88 minutes into the game, A. Sermet almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Longares enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

The most dominating United player was without a doubt J. Yepes Millán. M. Pérez Camacho was a disappointment, however. Most important Longares player was M. Gómez. On the other hand, M. Rapushaj's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
