Empató Correira In the 27 of a placed and surprising shot crossed, but in the 50 Basora signed the triumph blaugrana in the first edition of the Latin Glass after culminating an excellent played personal.

The Barça could increase the difference, but a shot of Gonzalvo III from almost half field that crashed in the crossbar and an unlucky action of Navarro, to empty door, deprived to the Catalan picture to arrive to the pitido final with greater tranquility.

A curiosity was what occurred at the end of the meeting. The Barcelona group, to celebrate the title -remember that it treated of the first edition-, gave the usual turn of honour. And it received a big number of applauses of the public of Chamartín. Then the rivalry was not so disrespectful as in the actuality.
