Today, Művek's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The corner kick from D. Orsino was powerfully met by the head of U. Vives to make the score 0 - 1. Players in Művek heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Művek's N. Von Bischhoffshausen put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 1 - 1 with 6 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. 8 minutes into the game, P. Llambías almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 15 minutes into the game, Salta seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. Művek took the lead after 26 minutes as a result of Z. Tumó's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 2 - 1. One of many good crosses from A. Tschudi on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by T. Soavã, who scored for Művek. 3 - 1 The players of Művek now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 31 minutes into the game, Salta had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. Művek increased the lead as N. Von Bischhoffshausen struck to make the score 4 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Some things can only be learned through experience, and T. Laval should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Salta a goal with 36 minutes of the match played. Művek's W. Göttling had an excellent opportunity after 37 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! 4 - 1 was the score after the first half. Művek claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 75 percent.

During the break, Salta's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. Művek put themselves up 5 - 1 when A. Tschudi broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile N. Selendy. After 69 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and N. Selendy gave the Művek supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 6 - 1. 71 minutes into the game, Művek were awarded a penalty that M. Ramač turned into 7 - 1 without a problem. Művek's N. Von Bischhoffshausen got himself booked for a foul. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Művek scored another to make it 8 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for T. Soavã after 82 minutes. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Művek, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Művek's T. Laval increased the lead to 9 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 86 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Művek, with 78 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Művek player was without a doubt M. Tilmant. Z. Tumó on the other hand, had a terrible day. Salta's best player was N. Valbonetti. However, M. Falabella made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 9 - 1.
