Pistas were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. After a fine move down the middle H. Steverlynck nearly gave the home side a goal after 6 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. regreso's J. Scarinci could have put the guests one up after 7 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but M. Nordheim was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. A. Gomez of Pistas was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 16 minutes into the match left regreso's V. Fissore completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Pistas's E. Piano got himself booked for a foul. H. Comas was called on to replace Pistas's J. Travato after 29 minutes following a nasty collision. The Pistas captaincy was handed to H. Steverlynck. A good free kick by E. Piano would have scored the equaliser for Pistas, had it not been for the dramatic save by the visitors' goalkeeper. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by regreso, with 51 percent of the ball.

D. López had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. Some fine movement on the left led to a regreso goal after 76 minutes, making it 0 - 2. V. Fissore was noted down as the scorer. Pistas had to make a substitution after 80 minutes. H. Comas limped off the field and was replaced by P. Luce. At 87 minutes into the game, Pistas's O. Arrua deftly knocked the ball home after an impressive run down the left, reducing the visitors' lead to 1 - 2. Pistas's D. López had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 89 minutes having been played. D. Guolo was the replacement. Pistas had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Pistas's top performer was clearly O. Arrua. C. Măhălean turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important regreso player was F. Barbona. However, C. Rodríguez made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 2.
