The crowd of 29370 turning up at Estadio Olímpico Oscar Freire today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Lucas Briers was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Graziano Cereseto and Jean-Marie de Zwarte. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Besaya. Starters: Arantza - Sierra Morales, Sensale, Walthert - Bruhns, Alonso, Villafáfila, Silber, Torres - Górski, Cheng.

raulct decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. The following players took the field: Giúdice - Alagarda, Chianese, Fagan, Marrone - Cosculluela, Eltink, Fallon, Wabnic, Ayres - Uzgören.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of raulct. 1 minutes in, the referee awarded Besaya a penalty. M. Cheng coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. It was a bad day for the usually speedy S. Górski. The mud seemed to slow him down. With 33 minutes played, Besaya put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to M. Sierra Morales, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. R. Ayres had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. Besaya put in a good effort on the right, but D. Villafáfila saw his volley fly wide of the mark 41 minutes into the game. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Besaya, with 54 percent of the ball.

D. Villafáfila could have put Besaya up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 58 minutes. After 59 minutes, the defensive line of raulct created a counterattack through the middle that gave H. Uzgören a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. After 68 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by D. Villafáfila might have resulted in another goal for Besaya. However, E. Giúdice made a spectacular save. A quick counter attack by raulct forced the opponent's defender to give away a freekick. M. Fallon was allowed to take it quickly by the referee, much to the dismay of the goalkeeper who wasn't prepared. 2 - 1! Besaya's S. Górski had an excellent opportunity after 72 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Besaya had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

M. Cheng performed admirably for Besaya. On the other hand, A. Torres's play was disheartening. Most important raulct player was H. Uzgören. However, R. Ayres made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 1.
