Oefening had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Lezcano - Boniface, Pérard, Burger - Bakiera, Göttingen, Cami, Evdokimov, Züfle - Atar, Teerlink.

Calisante could have put themselves ahead after 18 minutes but A. Harbiye missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. 27 minutes in, Calisante's F. Haga received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Z. Bakiera's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Oefening, he bravely continued in the match. 41 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Calisante was O. Galun. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. O. Galun squirmed through their central defence after 43 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Calisante, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

Calisante managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when A. Harbiye cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The Calisante players could smell victory in the air. J. Ablanedo wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Postma after 53 minutes. The corner kick from N. Greiner was powerfully met by the head of J. Postma to make the score 4 - 0. Confident in their lead, Calisante's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. I. Züfle had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper G. Kwan Sun was simply unbeatable. The referee showed Oefening's L. Teerlink the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Calisante claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

Calisante's top performer was clearly O. Galun. On the other hand, D. Jansson's play was disheartening. S. Atar performed admirably for Oefening. C. Burger turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
