Dark skies made the crowd of 53794 at 27 de Diciembre a little nervous, but the rain held off. Alain Pfeil was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anders Ångstål and Kaj Ulrich.

Starters: Urbano - Lerdo de Tejada, Muñoz, Muñoz - Vikby, Cornuel, Lähteenmäki, Papp, Ragot - Azcona, Frausto.

Vicalvaro69 tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Sabastijonas - Rokov, Gorbói, Villems - Baloun, Tsampaos, Cordova Castro, Rippert, Herreros - Artzi, Öststedt.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Vicalvaro69. 2 minutes into the match, Vicalvaro69 nearly took the lead, as J. Baloun broke through on the right. D. Urbano made the save, however. A foul after 15 minutes resulted in a free kick. R. Frausto cannonballed it, giving the home team the lead 1 - 0. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Lobos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

D. Urbano's name was chanted throughout the stadium after he made a fantastic save from Z. Gorbói's shot from the left 68 minutes into the match. Coming from the right, R. Frausto almost managed to score another goal for Lobos, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Maybe due to the uphill battle the team was facing, the Vicalvaro69 manager looked to change things around. After 75 minutes, J. Baloun and I. Tsampaos swapped positions on the field. The bench was restless, and with 76 minutes passed Vicalvaro69's coach gave M. Ripken the opportunity the player had been hoping for. J. Baloun reluctantly left the field. With 82 minutes played, the Vicalvaro69 coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. G. Nocetti came on, K. Öststedt had to leave the fray. Lobos had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Most important Lobos player was A. Lerdo de Tejada. R. Frausto on the other hand, had a terrible day. Vicalvaro69's top performer was clearly Y. Artzi. I. Tsampaos turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
