Deportivo 4 - 1 reptantes (390046972)

12000 spectators had found their way to Arena Cataluña, despite the heavy rain. Kåre Lystad was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pierre Joster and Eckhard Zussner. Deportivo started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Starters: Ussía - García, Guzmán, Cruilles, Figuerola - Augusto, Cerezo, López Pacheco, Barreira - Marsellés, Corona.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for reptantes. The following players had been chosen: Loaeza - Chávez, Cortázar, Valdez, Sesma - Partida, Velázquez Ibero, La Paz, Gironella - García Aspe, Barro.

After 3 minutes of play, A. Marsellés gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. J. Augusto of Deportivo was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish R. Sesma, which resulted in a goal making the score 2 - 0. A bit later, reptantes's M. Barro easily reduced the lead to 2 - 1 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. Deportivo's A. Corona increased the lead to 3 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 30 minutes. The players of Deportivo now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. M. Cortázar's lack of experience almost gave Deportivo a goal after 31 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 33 minutes, Deportivo did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, L. Figuerola was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 4 - 1. Halftime score was 4 - 1. Deportivo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

M. López Pacheco had a fantastic opportunity to put Deportivo up another goal 62 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. P. Partida was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. Deportivo had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

Deportivo's top performer was clearly J. Augusto. On the other hand, R. Cruilles's play was disheartening. Most important reptantes player was A. García Aspe. However, J. Loaeza made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
