The following players had been chosen: Balboa - Güell, Panushkin - Navarro Gil, Tendinha, Ursueguía, Bergwitz, Imaz - van Belle, Offringa, Băjenaru.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Cocos. Starters: Ferrer - Leijondahl, Schlimbach, Kohlreuter - Wallner, Marín, Frenčík, Nosari, Ciosek - Borgholm, Valasiuk.

uyf seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. N. Schlimbach's lack of experience almost gave uyf a goal after 13 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. 22 minutes into the game, K. Frenčík almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. uyf's M. Bergwitz left the field after 24 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was I. Comas. uyf broke through on the left 31 minutes into the game, with E. Tendinha firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. It was 1 - 0 at the break. uyf had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

Cocos had to manage with a reduced squad after 63 minutes, as N. Nosari got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. T. van Belle was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so uyf's A. Carretón had to come off the bench. uyf solidified their lead at the 71 minute mark, as A. Carretón dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. M. Güell neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to I. Comas who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by uyf, with 61 percent of the ball.

uyf's best player was J. Balboa. E. Imaz was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Cocos player was without a doubt J. Ferrer. A. Valasiuk on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
