The following players took the field: van Vliet - Gartner, Zimmerlin - Fontaine, Froio, Scherwey, Del Curto, Stoltzfus - Gavino, Coronado, Carafa.

panteras had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Lineup: Gärtner - Bonotti, Ørts, Ostos, Geffen, Granados - Fossen, Pires, Coelho, Radu - Correia.

Cashmoney mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for panteras. What ever got into K. Gartner, the crowd mumbled, as he suddenly struck a cross pass through his own defence - ending up right in front of panteras's G. Radu, who easily put the ball away for 0 - 1 after 7 minutes. panteras almost scored after a counterattack 16 minutes into the match, but N. Pires took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. After 34 minutes, Cashmoney switched G. Zimmerlin with M. Cadalbert, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, K. Gartner took over the role of being the Cashmoney captain. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Bonotti got himself booked. The manager of panteras was not happy. With 39 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, C. Froio needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Good work by the panteras defensive line after 44 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found J. Ostos alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. O. Carafa hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Cashmoney's N. Del Curto an easy chance to knock it in for 1 - 1. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Cashmoney, with 73 percent of the ball.

With 58 minutes played, P. Coelho of panteras fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Possession in this half belonged to Cashmoney, who controlled the ball 71 percent of the time.

Still tied after 90 minutes, the match continued into extra time. Cashmoney's G. Coronado tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. A counterattack by panteras after 98 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but F. Bonotti, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. When N. Pires was badly injured by a couple of strong tackles after 101 minutes, panteras fans were unhappy to discover that it was not possible to make a substitution. 106 minutes into the game, K. Ørts finished off a panteras left wing counterattack, making the score 1 - 2. This put an end to extra time, making panteras the winners. O. Carafa performed admirably for Cashmoney. B. van Vliet turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating panteras player was without a doubt B. Gärtner. J. Fossen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
