Mario Quesada was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Daniel Bernhardsson and Diego Olmedo Ayuso. united tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Oaneill - Spellacy, Clough, Hanwell, Heany - Samson, Luck, Varty, Stanley - Butterworth, Shipton.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for k.z.glowa. The following players took the field: Barroso - Fanøe, Conoscente, McGuire, Dorante, Bunni - Keustermans, Dumitru, Mónico - Elleman, Chrapek.

16 minutes into the game, D. Dumitru almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. M. Spellacy's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 27 minutes allowed V. Fanøe to score for k.z.glowa. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. The referee showed united's A. Shipton the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of k.z.glowa, as M. McGuire left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. P. Leisted took his place on the field. After 34 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave P. Leisted a chance to increase the lead for k.z.glowa, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by k.z.glowa, with 61 percent of the ball.

After 68 minutes, k.z.glowa's D. Dumitru burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave L. Conoscente from k.z.glowa a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 71 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Unfortunately for united, W. Clough was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. C. Gallop replaced him. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by A. Shipton rendered him his second booking of the match, and united had to finish the game with a reduced squad. The visitors' L. Conoscente took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 78 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for k.z.glowa. After this, you could see that the players of k.z.glowa were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 79 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 5 as P. Elleman finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. A drive down the left side allowed N. Bunni to get in close and score another goal for k.z.glowa after 80 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 6. k.z.glowa enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.

The most dominating united player was without a doubt C. Gallop. S. Oaneill was a disappointment, however. k.z.glowa's top performer was clearly P. Chrapek. L. Mónico on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 6.
