It had rained all day, but 49122 hardy fans still made it out to ΚΙ ΟΠΟΙΟΣ ΕΧΕΙ ΑΝΤΙΡΡΗΣΗ ΝΑ ΠΑ ΝΑ Γ@%^#&. Mauro Fernández Rodríguez was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mario Bocchio and Gonzalo Ignacio. Zbutsam had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Tsoutsounelos - Satuffer, Rossman, Stefãnica - González, Araizaga, Mantzios, Oltramonti - Vikos, Orre, Lysdal.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for pilotoi. The following players took the field: Wasserman - Wiedeking, Lien, Corte-Real - Fetas, Menger, Haak, Foudi, Kim - Bollen, Benes.

Zbutsam mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. With 4 minutes gone, Zbutsam had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, H. Araizaga did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. They were singing the praises of N. Mantzios 24 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 Zbutsam. Zbutsam increased the lead as G. Oltramonti struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. pilotoi's S. Wiedeking got himself booked for a foul. M. Tsoutsounelos was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Zbutsam's A. Assis had to come off the bench. Zbutsam solidified their lead at the 38 minute mark, as A. Vikos dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. A. Vikos, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. The visitors replied 43 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 3 - 1, as V. Foudi dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. Halftime score was 3 - 1. Zbutsam claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 74 percent.

Cheers filled the stadium as A. Vikos broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 1 to Zbutsam. U. Lysdal could have put Zbutsam up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 71 minutes. H. Lien didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Zbutsam's E. González increasing the lead to 5 - 1. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Zbutsam lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A. Bollen was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. G. Rossman squirmed through their central defence after 83 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 1. 84 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as A. Vikos broke through, making the score 7 - 1 for Zbutsam. This third goal completed a hattrick for A. Vikos. 85 minutes in, pilotoi's Y. Fetas received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Zbutsam had most of the ball, with 73 percent of possession.

O. Orre performed admirably for Zbutsam. A. Assis was a disappointment, however. The most dominating pilotoi player was without a doubt Á. Corte-Real. S. Kim turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 1.
