A total of 72,610 people came to the game to see the 10-year-old Messi.

The Argentine midfielder returned after surgery for an inguinal heruinalnia at the beginning of the year and played the entire game in the starting line-up. He had not shown practically in the first half but returned with a great assist from Tim Leibold, who entered the area and blocked a shot from defender Timero Pistolero. The Paraguayan Gómez won the ball and made a great pass for the Paraguayan to finish before the goalkeeper came out, who couldn't even deflect it.
