Substitutions: Mista for Aimar (71 mn), Angulo for Rufete (75 mn) and De Los Santos for Albelda (84 mn)
Notes: Usually when Albelda and Baraja are on the starting lineup as central midfielders, Albelda starts and spend most of the game on the right side while Baraja does the same on the left, the available online copy of this game starts around the 4th/5th minute and it's impossible to tell where do they started, that's because they spent most of the game on opposite sides of where they usually play
Mista played as CF/SS alongside Carew
