Clouds darkened the skies at BMXstadium as 40000 spectators turned up for the match. Roberto Loera was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Matías Morel Rodríguez and Petre Rotaru. StaCRUZ decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Aaltonen - Lanzi, Matolcsy, León - Bahamonde, Mathes-Schmidt, Dumont, Cañulef, Liendo - Ambrożek, Brunn.

Centro had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Tapia - Héliot, Barnes - Lara Negrón, Valdés, Sztuka, De Becker, Ramos - Oynton, Peltoniemi, Formicola.

Always quick and a menace to his opponents, Ó. Lara Negrón was very close to getting through after 21 minutes, but he could only put the ball into the keeper's arms. Some great play up the middle by StaCRUZ led to a chance for D. Ambrożek to score after 24 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. The guests almost went up by a goal after 26 minutes when D. Ramos came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to StaCRUZ, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

A well placed corner kick from C. Héliot was followed by A. Valdés's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Centro, the score now 0 - 1. After 80 minutes Centro's K. De Becker limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. 81 minutes into the game, Centro were awarded a penalty and C. Héliot was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 2 rolling the ball in by the right post. StaCRUZ enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Most important StaCRUZ player was K. Mathes-Schmidt. C. Lanzi was a disappointment, however. Centro's best player was K. De Becker. S. Peltoniemi on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
