Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 54650 at Marcus Aurelius Memorial today. Balázs Bláthy was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Rajko Jovanović and Jean-Paul Zwijnen. Humus decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Cocciolo - Guanabara, Musmarra, Hinard - Prata, Gahr, Amoreira, Cabrera, Martin - Coruja, De Nunzio.

Allstars tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Édmond - Cotman, Heicher, Dubois - Brunet, Lotito, Barrientos, Copić, Rosset - Molena, Balimann.

Allstars had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 33 minutes in when P. Lotito came up alone against G. Cocciolo who managed a block. Humus broke through on the left 37 minutes into the game, with M. Coruja firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Humus put in a good effort on the right, but M. Coruja saw his volley fly wide of the mark 40 minutes into the game. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Humus, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

After 46 minutes, the Humus players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. M. Guanabara increased Humus's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. Humus's L. Gahr saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 69 minutes. The Humus players could smell victory in the air. A. Amoreira wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for S. Tschumper after 70 minutes. M. Hinard unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. 73 minutes in, Allstars's P. Molena received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Ater 76 minutes P. Molena seized on an opportunistic attack from the right, and scored for Allstars making it 2 - 1. B. Brunet of Allstars was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 78 minutes into the match, M. Guanabara could have extended the lead, but his powerful free kick went just over the bar. Humus had to make a substitution after 81 minutes. M. Guanabara limped off the field and was replaced by B. Vestuti. Humus enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

The most dominating Humus player was without a doubt M. Cabrera. On the other hand, B. Vestuti's play was disheartening. Allstars's top performer was clearly P. Molena. A. Dubois on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 1.
