Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Ibiza. Today, Sporting's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. H. Åkesson didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, D. Jeftić got himself booked. The manager of Ibiza was not happy. Always quick and a menace to his opponents, G. Arenile was very close to getting through after 24 minutes, but he could only put the ball into the keeper's arms. 30 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Ibiza was D. Kovařík. Ibiza increased the lead as H. Åkesson struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. After this, you could see that the players of Ibiza were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. It was a bad day for the usually speedy G. Arenile. The mud seemed to slow him down. The crowd roared its approval when D. Alvim somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by Sporting's 郭. 成功 (Chenggong) 44 minutes into the game. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

A great save by keeper W. Vázquez after 60 minutes kept the visitors in the game after B. Nilsson struck from the left with a real cannonball. G. Arenile's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and 77 minutes into the match was no different as he broke free of his man to send a delightful through ball to D. Kovařík who knocked it in for Ibiza. 3 - 0! Ibiza's D. Kovařík swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. After 85 minutes Sporting's F. Villanova limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Sporting claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

Most important Ibiza player was B. Nilsson. On the other hand, W. Perrin's play was disheartening. The most dominating Sporting player was without a doubt 郭. 成功 (Chenggong) . However, L. Olmos made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 0.
