Coach Juliano Belleti was handled to a high quality opener from Arnau Prades, after which the participant who had supplied the help, Hugo Albaacquired his personal identify on the scoresheet from the penalty spot.

Issues have been shaping up very properly, however by half-time the edges have been again degree. Tincres headed in after 41 minutes and a strong strike from Buabre meant it could be 2-2 when the groups headed to the dressing rooms.
