The wings were the focus of most of Rubbish's attacks today. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, L. Kašo scored for Rubbish putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 9 minutes. The home side's M. Robles came close to extending the lead 29 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but N. Sepstrup managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile V. Baumanis. With 35 minutes played, the visitors could have drawn level after O. Ilyashov came through the middle, but his kick went wide. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Rubbish had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Players in Rubbish heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Rubbish increased the lead as M. Robles struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Rubbish managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when T. Riscanebo cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. By now, the players in Rubbish felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. V. Gramazio wanted to play on, but the Rubbish coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 73 minutes into the game by M. Strzała. Possession in this half belonged to Rubbish, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

The most dominating Rubbish player was without a doubt R. Lebda. M. Strzała on the other hand, had a terrible day. K. Pasanen performed admirably for Salieri. C. Marsh turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
