Dark skies made the crowd of 16214 at El poli Arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Reno Stagg was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Berend Kok and Preben Stensgaard. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Luci Feri. Lineup: Overwyk - De Schrijver, Brasini, Barceló - Quevedo, Alippi, Marrani, Pettersen, Vasile - Musello, Parum.

COBRA decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Sugrobov - Vasseur, Rubado, Contreras - Radkov, Maza, Serra, Baldonedo, Frias - Salmon Cinotti, Vita.

Today, Luci Feri's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. G. Salmon Cinotti had a good opportunity to give COBRA the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. 26 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Luci Feri was F. Quevedo. The visitors refused to give in and, after 32 minutes, S. Contreras evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 1 - 1 39 minutes into the game, P. Vita was a hair's breadth away from giving COBRA the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by F. Overwyk saved the home team that time. A. Serra had a good try after 40 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. Halftime score was 1 - 1. COBRA claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Luci Feri took the lead after 59 minutes as a result of B. Pettersen's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 2 - 1. 60 minutes into the match, Luci Feri's J. Parum demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to V. Musello who chipped it in for 3 - 1. 73 minutes into the game, G. Salmon Cinotti had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came J. Amilibia. C. Frias was handed the COBRA captain's armband. After 77 minutes, C. Frias came close to reducing the score with a free kick aimed near the left post, but F. Overwyk warded the ball off to a corner. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by COBRA, with 54 percent of the ball.

Most important Luci Feri player was V. Musello. A. Brasini was a disappointment, however. COBRA's top performer was clearly A. Serra. G. Sugrobov on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
