Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Campo Estrela saw a crowd turnout of 50184. Flórián Pesti was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dejan Kapelj and Erik Kruijer. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Lusitano. The following players had been chosen: Úlehla - Borisov, Kristoffersen, Kolarov - Buranich, Sannier, Evensen, Lachance, Carolino - Flora, Bettray.

Desportex had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Alvelos - Ochoa, Rothmann, Klaassen - Elf, Hietaniemi, Jácome, Atias, Scarone - Cuadras, Pilgram.

Lusitano were clearly looking ahead to the next match rather than focusing on the one at hand. Many thought B. Buranich ought to have been awarded a penalty 12 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around A. Alvelos after a determined run through the middle. R. Lachance caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 17 minutes. This gave Lusitano the 1 - 0 lead. Always a threat, D. Scarone tore past his marker and placed the ball right at the feet of the waiting T. Pilgram who should have easily scored for Desportex, but the ball went wide. The home side failed to add to their score as H. Sannier shot a penalty wide after 29 minutes. Lusitano's C. Evensen was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 38 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. F. Bettray squirmed through their central defence after 42 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Desportex, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Lusitano put themselves up 3 - 0 when C. Evensen broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. After this, you could see that the players of Lusitano were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave R. Kolarov from Lusitano a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 67 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Lusitano's B. Buranich somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for F. Bettray, who struck for 4 - 0. Lusitano solidified their lead at the 75 minute mark, as F. Bettray dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 0. This third goal completed a hattrick for F. Bettray. The crowd roared its approval when L. Úlehla somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by Desportex's G. Elf 80 minutes into the game. R. Kolarov knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the Lusitano player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. Desportex's E. Hietaniemi went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. Desportex enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The most dominating Lusitano player was without a doubt R. Lachance. H. Kristoffersen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Desportex player was without a doubt H. Jácome. However, L. Ochoa made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
