VELINAC displayed their ability to play creatively. After 2 minutes, VELINAC sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached G. Šumaher, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 0. The sun seemed to put M. Mrvica in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. A. Braut could have increased the lead after 22 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. VELINAC's J. Pinos-Puente struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 2 - 0 after 26 minutes. VELINAC solidified their lead at the 27 minute mark, as G. Šumaher dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. By now, the players in VELINAC felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. VELINAC claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 75 percent.

VELINAC managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when G. Šumaher cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. This third goal completed a hattrick for G. Šumaher. Okrugljača had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 50 minutes, but T. Marak's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. The corner kick from J. Pinos-Puente was powerfully met by the head of M. Ursulescu to make the score 5 - 0. With 68 minutes played, VELINAC put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to A. Braut, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. B. Dota was called on to replace Okrugljača's M. Mrvica after 74 minutes following a nasty collision. D. Kalođera had a fantastic opportunity to put VELINAC up another goal 81 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. VELINAC's K. De Beuckeleer saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 82 minutes. VELINAC had most of the ball, with 78 percent of possession.

VELINAC's best player was D. Kalođera. A. Florescu on the other hand, had a terrible day. Okrugljača's top performer was clearly V. Milačić. On the other hand, I. Škrbić's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 0.
