38606 spectators had found their way to Só Golaço Stadium, despite the heavy rain. Henny Mazurek was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Olaf Knarren and Lauri Korhonen. Goleada decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Aguiar - Revuelta, Hrabina, Szmigiel - Der, Kurzweil, Bettetini, Mortensen, Farbák - Molinos, Kasserini.

Schneider had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Receveur - Aritai, Werner, Coimbra - Begunić, Mathiasson, Rivadavia, Merí, Pick - Peixoto, de Mesquita.

Goleada could have put themselves ahead after 8 minutes but A. Kasserini missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. Schneider had to manage with a reduced squad after 16 minutes, as M. Merí got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. Schneider had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 19 minutes in when N. Peixoto came up alone against O. Aguiar who managed a block. Goleada had a good opportunity to take the lead as S. Molinos came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of R. Receveur. After 38 minutes, Schneider's M. Begunić made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. After 38 minutes, the Schneider players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. G. Bettetini was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Goleada claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

J. de Mesquita left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. O. Voth was the replacement. The Schneider coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 46 minutes into the game. The crowd chanted their encouragement as Goleada's S. Mortensen came in from the right after 71 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 1 - 1. The referee showed Schneider's N. Peixoto the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After a fine move down the middle S. Mortensen nearly gave the home side a goal after 76 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

Goleada's best player was S. Mortensen. On the other hand, Á. Revuelta's play was disheartening. Most important Schneider player was D. Coimbra. O. Voth turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
