Clear skies welcomed the 16180 spectators who had made their way to xampinyons stadium. Bastian Conod was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peter Öhrsjö and Konstantin Loret. arnys decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Buffard - Spínola, Bredal Nielsen, Finnøy - Esbrí, Rakos, Rapazote, Zimanovičius, Alsina - Fleisch, Lara Martínez.

Tazmania had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Rubingh - Castelo, Escarpa, Wohlhauser - Zegers, Escuredo, Ljunghult, Øyen, Anaut - Ziervogel, Barroca.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 3 minutes allowed A. Escarpa to score for Tazmania. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. With 29 minutes played, Tazmania put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was B. Ziervogel. With clinical precision, the cross from winger X. Alsina found its way to J. Fleisch's head, and a screaming header gave arnys the goal after 33 minutes played. 1 - 2 Against a lesser team, Tazmania could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 34 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. After 35 minutes of play, N. Lara Martínez evened things up for arnys with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 2 - 2. Tazmania took the lead after 38 minutes making the score 2 - 3. A. Anaut placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Halftime score was 2 - 3. Tazmania enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.

T. Øyen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 49 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 4. The Tazmania fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Tazmania coach let P. Mangano replace J. Zegers after 50 minutes. The coach of Tazmania was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 50 minutes, J. Basdorf came on for J. Escuredo. R. Barroca left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 55 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. F. Clavuot was the replacement. Tazmania increased their lead after 66 minutes when T. Øyen broke through on the right, upping the score to 2 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. After this, you could see that the players of Tazmania were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Just a few inches to the right, and the visitors could have had a goal 70 minutes into the match. B. Ziervogel surely wishes he could do that free kick over again. Some fine movement on the left led to a Tazmania goal after 72 minutes, making it 2 - 6. P. Mangano was noted down as the scorer. After 82 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave B. Ziervogel a chance to increase the lead for Tazmania, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 2 - 7. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Tazmania, with 64 percent of the ball.

arnys's top performer was clearly P. Rakos. G. Esbrí on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Tazmania player was T. Øyen. A. Escarpa turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 7.
