J. Vranovský would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. I. Orleans Borbón entered the game for ascodevida as the match clock showed 71 minutes. A counterattack by España after 73 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but R. Animento, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. After 78 minutes, the ascodevida coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving P. Estrada off the field. L. Moreno Díaz took his place. España had to make a substitution after 78 minutes. E. Rycerski limped off the field and was replaced by J. Olivares. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ascodevida, with 58 percent of the ball.

ascodevida's top performer was clearly H. Gül. M. Salamanca turned in a dismal performance, however. España's best player was A. Schieber. On the other hand, J. Olivares's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 0.
