37450 spectators arrived at Infierno, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Antonio Gerardo Ferretto was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pierre Mambourg and Milenko Krpan. The derby had been the talk of Barcelona all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Kaisersteam started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Burkart - Bagi, Posada, Sanya - Cermeño, Fulín, van der Kuijlen, Valdehuérteles, Company - Rosenberger, Álvarez.

CA68FC had chosen a strategic 5-5-0 formation. They fielded: Rostowski - Martinho, Casula, Baetschmann, Torbjärnsson, Castillon - Tributsch, Tavas, Evjen, González-Llano, Vashchenko -.

Kaisersteam mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. For their match strategy, CA68FC had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. With 4 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of CA68FC resulted in a counterattack that set B. Torbjärnsson free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. The referee showed Kaisersteam's E. Rosenberger the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 6 minutes into the game, P. Baetschmann had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. After 16 minutes of play, S. Álvarez gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. After 19 minutes, the defensive line of CA68FC created a counterattack through the middle that gave I. González-Llano a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Kaisersteam had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

Given a free kick close to the byline, Kaisersteam tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let T. Company slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 2 - 0, 51 minutes into the game. The visitors got one back when I. González-Llano finished off a pass from the left and scored after 68 minutes. 2 - 1 was the score. The Kaisersteam players could smell victory in the air. D. van der Kuijlen wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Aceña after 70 minutes. The Kaisersteam captaincy was handed to D. Posada. Kaisersteam increased the lead as E. Rosenberger struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. S. Álvarez's speed was clear to see after 79 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released E. Rosenberger who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 4 - 1. 84 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as P. Baetschmann anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 4 - 2. Coming from the right, K. Bagi almost managed to score another goal for Kaisersteam, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. A questionable free kick call just outside the home side's penalty area gave CA68FC a chance at reducing the score 86 minutes into the match. In the end, the ball went wide. Kaisersteam claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

E. Rosenberger performed admirably for Kaisersteam. M. Burkart was a disappointment, however. Most important CA68FC player was I. González-Llano. On the other hand, P. Baetschmann's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 2.
