After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Legarreta got himself booked. The manager of González was not happy. B. Zawalich of González received a yellow card after 17 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when G. Barriga was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 19 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! ZVZIO's A. van Delft got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by González, with 52 percent of the ball.

V. Babić of González seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by C. Bleu. The visiting team's T. Wegener was able to score the 1 - 1 equaliser with a header 48 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. R. Pitzalis found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. ZVZIO had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 58 minutes in when R. Rabas came up alone against I. Spurlock who managed a block. I. Spurlock looked great 69 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' A. van Delft. Possession in this half belonged to González, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

González's top performer was clearly M. Nicolas. However, C. Bleu made a disastrous appearance. ZVZIO's best player was A. van Delft. On the other hand, Ş. Çolak's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
