73952 spectators arrived at Arcenio Erico C.A.R., where weather conditions were pretty good for football.

Vulcano had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. They fielded: Altieri - Guardia, Ferreira, Gauto, Orrego - Csokonay, Tissot, Korner, Bodnár, Gut - Podovinnikov.

It was obvious that Vulcano were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Rc02 fans held their breath as D. Turek scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! The home side's V. Mironescu came close to extending the lead 9 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but D. Altieri managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. V. Mironescu increased the lead for Rc02 to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Rc02's C. Agner was shown a yellow card after 32 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 33 minutes, F. Ruíz Díaz put Rc02 ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Halftime score was 3 - 0. Rc02 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

Vulcano's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. A. Andresen of Rc02 received a yellow card after 63 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. C. Di Puccio was called on to replace Vulcano's A. Ferreira after 71 minutes following a nasty collision. Rc02 solidified their lead at the 72 minute mark, as C. Agner dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 0. Coming from the right, F. Ruíz Díaz almost managed to score another goal for Rc02, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Rc02 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

M. Barrios performed admirably for Rc02. However, D. Ritzinger made a disastrous appearance. Vulcano's best player was D. Altieri. C. Di Puccio on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
