Lahtinen, chipped the keeper and made the score 1 - 0. 29 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as S. Rechivichi broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Leningrad. By now, the players in Leningrad felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. With 31 minutes played, Leningrad put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to I. Carlés, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. The head of G. Bekar connected with a corner kick after 33 minutes, and the ball ended up with E. Debeuf of Leningrad who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 4 - 0. V. Ramírez could have increased the lead after 36 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. It was 4 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Leningrad, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

The coach of Leningrad was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, Ö. Türük came on for G. Bekar. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Ramírez from Leningrad a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Leningrad managed to extend their lead to 5 - 0 when E. Debeuf cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. With 88 minutes played, the Fenerbahce_Cumhuriy coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. L. Bán came on, E. Stater had to leave the fray. The bench was restless, and with 89 minutes passed Fenerbahce_Cumhuriy's coach gave T. Raappana the opportunity the player had been hoping for. I. Castaños reluctantly left the field. After 89 minutes, Fenerbahce_Cumhuriy switched H. Tokarek with F. Facchin, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Leningrad claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

Most important Leningrad player was P. Lomazzo. A. Nebiye turned in a dismal performance, however. D. Python performed admirably for Fenerbahce_Cumhuriy. However, Z. Horn made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
