The wings were the focus of most of Team's attacks today. G. Galego was very close to giving Team the lead with an ingenious free kick routine 9 minutes into the match, but the ball just grazed the bar. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Team, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. After 14 minutes, U. Fontes came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Team the lead. Players in Team heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. With 31 minutes played, Team put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to J. Quasten, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Team scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for A. Kallas after 33 minutes. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Team, with 60 percent of the ball.

The corner kick from M. Spinozzi was powerfully met by the head of K. Gunnarsson to make the score 3 - 1. The away team improved the scoreline to 3 - 2, as M. Panzer struck home, set up well by a play on the left 82 minutes into the match. N. Keko dispatched a majestic long shot 85 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave D. Dettmar from Team a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 86 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! R. Prata was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so aamukahvi's M. Teresa had to come off the bench. The aamukahvi captaincy was handed to M. Spinozzi. Team claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Team's best player was F. Thielicke. D. Dettmar turned in a dismal performance, however. aamukahvi's top performer was clearly M. Panzer. On the other hand, J. Sarmela's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 2.
