Rampart seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. 10 minutes into the match, the visiting DRAGONIA made the score 0 - 1 after T. Nederlof executed a perfect free kick. A drive down the left side allowed A. Frøland to get in close and score another goal for DRAGONIA after 20 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After 22 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed J. Hamerslag to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. Confident in their lead, DRAGONIA's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The rain made it hard for players like A. Le Grand to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. After 31 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave V. Kesäniemi a chance to increase the lead for DRAGONIA, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to DRAGONIA, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

48 minutes into the game a free kick by T. Nederlof found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making DRAGONIA's lead 0 - 5. Some fine movement on the left led to a DRAGONIA goal after 52 minutes, making it 0 - 6. V. Kesäniemi was noted down as the scorer. The home crowd cheered when, after 55 minutes, T. Nederlof's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Frøland came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 68 minutes. DRAGONIA were now up 0 - 7. With 69 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed L. Randers of DRAGONIA to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 8. A penalty was awarded after 74 minutes, and T. Nederlof made the most of his chance to put DRAGONIA up by another goal. 0 - 9 for the visitors. That made three goals for T. Nederlof and he was marked down for the hat trick. DRAGONIA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

Rampart's best player was O. Avunç. J. Lindenberger turned in a dismal performance, however. DRAGONIA's top performer was clearly A. Frøland. On the other hand, J. Hamerslag's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 9.
