xaver seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Making his way up the middle 14 minutes into the match, M. Bulnes almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert J. Guadalfajara blocked it to keep the score level. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Filgueira, with 63 percent of the ball.

xaver were very close to putting themselves one up after 57 minutes as H. Medings got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. 65 minutes in, Filgueira's J. Ferriol received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. M. Bulnes's lightning pace was too much for J. Ferriol who could only look on as the xaver player blasted one home. 1 - 0. The referee was not popular with the home supporters after he awarded Filgueira a controversial penalty after 71 minutes. Y. Rozen made no mistake, levelling the score at 1 - 1. R. van den Langenberg found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. The home keeper expected a move to the right, but Y. Rozen surprised him with a free kick aimed the other way 82 minutes into the match. 1 - 2 for Filgueira. Filgueira had most of the ball, with 65 percent of possession.

xaver's best player was I. Kesiár. R. van den Langenberg turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Filgueira player was G. Svetlov. However, Y. Rozen made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 2.
