Santo Aragones got a throw-in 30 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Sten Vallman. 31 minutes into the match, ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ's goal looked a bit too open when Sten Vallman came free, but Jacobo Mendiko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 33 minutes ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Genadi Kotrulev who took care of the corner kick.

Placido Matro was left in no man's land by his defense there! The audience thought a goal was coming when Héctor Mainer got free with Placido Matro in the 58th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

When the final whistle went the supporters of ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ were delighted that their team had defeated the much more dominant ATILA side.
