klarup had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Søgaard - Boronat, Schoop, Mercandelli - Zieger, Hein, Petri, Adriansen, Tăloi - Hanak, Ruiz Guillén.

Deportivo tried to focus their attacks down the middle. klarup used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Deportivo could have put themselves ahead after 3 minutes but E. Fáber missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. After 8 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Deportivo found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. Deportivo players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. After 20 minutes klarup's J. Boronat limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. 25 minutes into the game, Deportivo seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. A foul after 26 minutes resulted in a free kick. J. Wielgos cannonballed it, giving the home team the lead 1 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Deportivo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The Deportivo players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. Coming from the right, C. Puccini almost managed to score another goal for Deportivo, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 49 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called klarup's D. Petri to one side and produced a red card for the player. 68 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as S. Mercandelli struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. After 70 minutes, the Deportivo coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving R. Vervenne off the field. E. Bezanilla took his place. J. Wielgos would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. L. Jachym entered the game for Deportivo as the match clock showed 75 minutes. 76 minutes into the game, Deportivo had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. 80 minutes into the game, Deportivo wanted to bring some new energy to their game. S. Boriani gave C. Marreca a quick hug as he left the field. With 80 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, G. Pirisino needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. 82 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Deportivo to take the lead after a good cross from the right found B. Wergin alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. 83 minutes in, Deportivo appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. With 84 minutes of the game having been played, L. Jachym received a blow to the hip in a collision and was unable to continue. Deportivo, with no available replacements, now faced the prospect of finishing the game with a reduced number of players. Possession in this half belonged to Deportivo, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Deportivo's best player was G. Pirisino. S. Kłobukowski on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating klarup player was without a doubt J. Boronat. On the other hand, A. Hein's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
