14150 spectators arrived at CAN PALET STADIUM, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Marco Mercadante was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Perttu Hein and Ciprian Petreanu. Madrid started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Olaguer - Ortega, Böckeler, Roca - Colmenares, Verzotto, Miguel Marín, Monzón, Canavarro - Belexar, Quemada Herreros.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Benta. Starters: Tapia Mateo - Garcia, Gonzalo Anes, Exaltop - Deinema, Jung, Cotigă, Rubio Torrecilla, Sværke - Leyva Prado, Heus.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 15 minutes allowed S. Gonzalo Anes to score for Benta. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. Some things can only be learned through experience, and M. Roca should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Benta a goal with 24 minutes of the match played. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Benta claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from I. Cotigă after 50 minutes, and prevented Benta from going up another goal. Madrid put pressure on the visitors' central defence 53 minutes into the game, but H. Canavarro couldn't find an opening. Madrid's A. Miguel Marín made an attempt at equalising 60 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. C. Belexar showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 64 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away. Benta's S. Rubio Torrecilla got himself booked for a foul. Benta had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Most important Madrid player was A. Quemada Herreros. E. Colmenares on the other hand, had a terrible day. Benta's best player was C. Leyva Prado. However, K. Deinema made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 1.
