Martínez broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. With 20 minutes played, P. Suárez of macc fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. Isunza squirmed through their central defence after 23 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Pustějovský from macc a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 33 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A loud groan was heard from the fans of Nano, as I. Rubio Góngora left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. M. Berger took his place on the field. It was 2 - 0 at the break. macc had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Berger got himself booked for a foul. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Nano's G. Siggaard was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 60 minutes. M. Larsson was given a chance to change things around. Nano needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 65 minutes M. Serrano made way for H. Tsuruga. Coming from the right, F.
