8 minutes into the game, a swerving free kick by W. Counotte almost resulted in the home team taking the lead, but the shot glanced harmlessly off the frame of the goal. Bondi were very close to putting themselves one up after 10 minutes as H. Bino got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. After 30 minutes, W. Counotte sent the corner kick right to M. Casais who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 0! Bondi managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when T. Tastula cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. 32 minutes in, Welfare's H. Prue received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Bondi put themselves up 3 - 0 when M. Casais broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. The players of Bondi now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Bondi had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

The Bondi coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 46 minutes into the game. The coach of Bondi was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 50 minutes, N. Gallo came on for B. Krogsdal. After 65 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and W. Counotte gave the Bondi supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. Bondi's W. Counotte increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 67 minutes. With 69 minutes played, Bondi's S. Běloch almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Cheers filled the stadium as S. Běloch broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 6 - 0 to Bondi. J. Loro looked to be heading one way when he unexpectedly passed the ball to T. Tastula. The move caught everyone off-guard, including his teammate, who panicked and kicked the ball out of play by accident. With 74 minutes gone, Bondi 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, S. Běloch did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. In an effort to secure the lead, Bondi changed their tactic after 75 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bondi, with 56 percent of the ball.

J. Loro performed admirably for Bondi. On the other hand, N. Gallo's play was disheartening. Welfare's top performer was clearly U. Zanirato. B. Larkin on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.
