Spectators: 7696 (Terracing: 5773, Seating: 1770, VIP seats: 153) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Justino Feliz started the match with the kick off. Baldovino Irureta lost his temper 3 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 3rd minute of the game. One of Sporting Burgas:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Los Hornos:s goal. Justino Feliz scored 1-0 in the 4th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Álvaro Perpiñán, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
