78787 spectators had come to NK Kaizen Arena this cloudy day. Norbert Lücking was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mads Hansen and Andreas Wall. Kaizen tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Vrbica - Jelovčan, Pagkalos, Dauparas - Conrad, Žarn, Velic, Glavina, Rabič - Rochus, Cazaux.

Posavc decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: Kalpadakis - Levy, César, Erlachner, Ionitã - Lang, Beltman, Miljković, Ivanič - Jauh, Lisac.

Posavc clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Kaizen could have put themselves ahead after 3 minutes but J. Cazaux missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. N. Pagkalos of Kaizen received a yellow card after 5 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Posavc's B. Levy left the field after 28 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was K. Ekrem. They were singing the praises of G. Jelovčan 34 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Kaizen. Kaizen put themselves up 2 - 0 when Y. Rochus broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. K. Ekrem received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 41 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. M. Glavina increased the lead for Kaizen to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Kaizen claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

Kaizen's J. Cazaux increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 75 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of Kaizen were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Kaizen had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

The most dominating Kaizen player was without a doubt M. Glavina. On the other hand, S. Rabič's play was disheartening. Posavc's top performer was clearly N. Jauh. However, K. Ekrem made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
