It was an obvious ambition of realmadridtop to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why H. Weihsmann found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 6 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called realmadridtop's F. Delfau to one side and produced a red card for the player. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of atleticomineiro's K. Henriksson after 22 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. 23 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as Ž. Mazić finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. By now, the players in atleticomineiro felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 30 minutes, atleticomineiro's Ž. Mazić burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half.

The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed realmadridtop's coach gave A. Marques the opportunity the player had been hoping for. B. Brunie reluctantly left the field. The referee showed realmadridtop's A. Bedin the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 55 minutes of game time, K. Henriksson had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but M. Ardama was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. After 56 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for K. Henriksson who increased atleticomineiro's lead to 0 - 4. The home keeper was stunned 62 minutes into the match when he misjudged the free kick by H. Weihsmann and dived in the wrong direction. The visitors increased the lead to 0 - 5. R. Tut was, after 68 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper M. Ardama made the save.

Cerioli had to leave the fray. atleticomineiro had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

C. Burms performed admirably for realmadridtop. However, M. Hafiz made a disastrous appearance. Most important atleticomineiro player was Ž. Mazić. R. de Schrijver was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
