They fielded: Espilla - Albalá, Albalat, Dura - Altimiras, Botarell, Meneses, Heinitz - Adurriaga, Casanova, Sanz Mateo.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for supercat. The following players took the field: Tameş - Olmo Vélez, Bouchnaq, Ayza - Serradelarca, Robles Acuña, Chávez, Alas, Orts - Bayón, Vasco.

With 7 minutes played E. Adurriaga almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. 11 minutes into the game, A. Bouchnaq had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came V. Peterka. Rubinho were very close to putting themselves one up after 14 minutes as E. Sanz Mateo got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. After 21 minutes supercat's I. Alas limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Rubinho's P. Altimiras was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 29 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Rubinho claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Ó. Botarell got himself booked. The manager of Rubinho was not happy. After 73 minutes, P. Altimiras came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Rubinho the lead. Rubinho put themselves up 2 - 0 when B. Heinitz broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Rubinho, with 58 percent of the ball.

Most important Rubinho player was Ó. Botarell. J. Espilla was a disappointment, however. supercat's top performer was clearly V. Peterka. On the other hand, B. Bayón's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
