Gavino Bernat was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 29th minute of the game, Luis Abarca landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field. Justino Vallujera's late challenge caught a Internacional's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

In the 43rd minute, Oliviero Aballe hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Lucian Caneiro, 44 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Beltza Galnares took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jonas Abar. Jonas Abar dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-3. After the first half ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ were leading 2-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

After a rather tough play, ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ's Paolo Palomera got a free kick in the 61st minute. After some careless play in the ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ defense, Mariano Abeitia kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gavino Bernat.

Gavino Bernat made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 6-3. Gelacio Abechuco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gavino Bernat having to interfere.

Internacional walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
