Sleek tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Canacheu - Rădulescu, Huţan, Pyzhyanov, Zugravu - Turtoi, Militaru, Vişan, Mariánovich - Macarie, Stancu.

The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but E. Zugravu showed great heart and had a good game. Rottilerro took the lead after 27 minutes as a result of J. Lee's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. A. Pyzhyanov, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. Rottilerro put themselves up 2 - 0 when Z. Cercel broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. After this, you could see that the players of Rottilerro were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Cheers filled the stadium as P. Aschieris broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to Rottilerro. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like R. Stancu. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Rottilerro scored another to make it 4 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for J. Lee after 36 minutes. With 37 minutes played, Rottilerro put themselves up 5 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to P. Aschieris, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Halftime score was 5 - 0. Rottilerro enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 80 percent of possession.

After 74 minutes, H. Lauerholz put Rottilerro ahead 6 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. The score became 7 - 0 at 75 minutes into the game, when Rottilerro were given a penalty which F. Golbach blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! Coming from the right, Z. Cercel almost managed to score another goal for Rottilerro, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. After 82 minutes, Rottilerro raised their score by one when P. Aschieris's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by J. Lee. 8 - 0. This third goal completed a hattrick for J. Lee. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Rottilerro to 9 - 0 as F. Golbach finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Rottilerro managed to extend their lead to 10 - 0 when P. Berthonneau cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Sleek's A. Pyzhyanov got himself booked for a foul. Rottilerro had most of the ball, with 84 percent of possession.

The most dominating Rottilerro player was without a doubt E. á Smillheyggi. S. Herban turned in a dismal performance, however. Sleek's top performer was clearly R. Stancu. On the other hand, V. Canacheu's play was disheartening. The match ends 10 - 0.
