Victor Ibar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Aldo Carlomagno read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 5th minute of play. 6 minutes into the match, Lyons's goalkeeper Saul Montez had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Bernardo Hori. An unexpectedly hard shot by Teofilo Baladi in the 17th minute of play forced C. A. Gral. Lamadrid's goalkeeper Aldo Carlomagno to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
