Poelies tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Akartuna - Overweg, Holstein, Navas - Moltrup, Allen, Jørgensen, Ricci, Matas - Rouse, Granados.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for ritchi. They fielded: Brams - Landtwing, Tamerus, Mercier, Raun Sørensen, Snoch - Hackl, Laager, Abeleira - Köhler, Dişli.

M. Matas gave Poelies the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Poelies to 2 - 0 as M. Rouse finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. By now, the players in Poelies felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 16 minutes in, ritchi appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. 18 minutes into the match D. Moltrup put Poelies ahead 3 - 0 with a truly marvelous free kick. After 25 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as ritchi found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. Poelies's M. Rouse increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 37 minutes. 4 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Poelies, with 79 percent of the ball.

During the break, ritchi's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 51 minutes, Poelies did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, M. Rouse was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 5 - 0. At that, M. Rouse was noted down for a hat trick! 53 minutes in, Poelies's M. Rouse received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 54 minutes played, Poelies's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to L. Jørgensen he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 6 - 0. Poelies increased the lead as L. Jørgensen struck to make the score 7 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Poelies solidified their lead at the 60 minute mark, as D. Moltrup dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 8 - 0. ritchi's A. Mercier got himself booked for a foul. Poelies were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 79 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by D. Moltrup. 9 - 0 for the home side. That made three goals for D. Moltrup and he was marked down for the hat trick. The referee showed Poelies's L. Allen the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Poelies enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 78 percent of possession.

Most important Poelies player was L. Ricci. D. Moltrup turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating ritchi player was without a doubt B. Dişli. However, B. Tamerus made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 9 - 0.
