22976 punters turned up at El Caldero del Diablo, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Brian van Tongeren was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Robin Sjölius and Gregors Duburs. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Indios. They fielded: Spiga - Eguino, Tréport - Baldassa, Las Heras Valle, Fillat, Lähdekorpi, Quirós - Ulzurrún, Sills, Jongeneelen.

boys started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. Starters: Spiccia - Jelovčan, Kristek, Arraiotzena, Kontulainen, Domínguez - Schreibvogel, Nowak, Dejean - Riepl, Merino.

boys clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. After 12 minutes boys tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, G. Riepl's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 16 minutes into the match left boys's M. Schreibvogel completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 23 minutes into the match, the technically gifted R. Ulzurrún of Indios scored 1 - 1, having made W. Domínguez look like a complete fool. After 27 minutes, T. Baldassa came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 2 - 1, giving Indios the lead. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Indios's R. Ulzurrún increasing the lead to 3 - 1. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Indios, with 60 percent of the ball.

With 46 minutes played, the boys coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. D. Besoiu came on, F. Merino had to leave the fray. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Indios to 4 - 1 as R. Jongeneelen finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The players of Indios now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; S. Dejean made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 4 - 2 61 minutes into the match. R. Jongeneelen wanted to play on, but the Indios coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 70 minutes into the game by G. Hunter. In an effort to secure the lead, Indios changed their tactic after 70 minutes. Indios claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

Indios's best player was F. Quirós. S. Spiga turned in a dismal performance, however. L. Nowak performed admirably for boys. On the other hand, B. Kristek's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 2.
