A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 74437 to Dellbury. Fredrik Molskog was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Frank Thorstensson and Ossi Siro. Saints decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Ruus - Varano, Zoff, Cottone - Gulino, Meli, Facciolo, Ivanovic - Novoselic, Cascetta, Collado.

Mokum tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Piattelli - Resch, Bohkvist, Guerrieri - Kytöharju, Èermák, Bellotto, Baldi, Durañona - Sörensson, Breier.

Mokum demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. Saints fans held their breath as N. Meli scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! Mokum's R. Èermák got himself booked for a foul. M. Sörensson tied the game at 1 - 1 after 14 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. The referee showed Mokum's F. Resch the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 17 minutes in, the referee awarded Saints a penalty. Z. Novoselic coolly slotted it home for a 2 - 1 lead. 22 minutes into the match, a typically brave header by M. Sörensson from A. Kytöharju's cross looped just over the opposing goalkeeper's desperate reach. Goal for Mokum, making the score 2 - 2. Z. Novoselic caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 27 minutes. This gave Saints the 3 - 2 lead. 33 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as Z. Novoselic broke through, making the score 4 - 2 for Saints. This third goal completed a hattrick for Z. Novoselic. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave Z. Novoselic from Saints a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 35 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Due to a severely mistimed tackle, G. Baldi of Mokum spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. Halftime score was 4 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Saints, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Saints's M. Facciolo increasing the lead to 5 - 2. Coming from the right, Z. Novoselic almost managed to score another goal for Saints, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Saints to 6 - 2 as Z. Novoselic finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. After 68 minutes, Z. Novoselic put Saints ahead 7 - 2 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After this, you could see that the players of Saints were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Saints's J. Ruus left the field after 72 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was S. Tornaghi. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Saints, with 59 percent of the ball.

Most important Saints player was D. Varano. On the other hand, S. Tornaghi's play was disheartening. A. Piattelli performed admirably for Mokum. However, P. Durañona made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 2.
