In the first half, the home team took the lead with a goal from Pocas, who was making his debut with the first team that day. In the second half, Porto scored twice more in a short period of time, both times thanks to Artur Pinga, thus giving a comfortable 3–0 lead to the home side, but Betis fought back by netting two quick goals of their own via José González Caballero and Victorio Unamuno. The visitants then pressured their opponents in search of an equalizer, which left them vulnerable at the back, and therefore, they ended up conceding another goal from Pinga, who thus sealed both his hat-trick and Porto's victory by 4–2. Another source states that Porto's goalscorers were Antonio Santos, Pinga (2), and Carlos Nunes, while Betis' goals were both scored by Caballero.
