It was an obvious ambition of Hardurus to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 23 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Hardurus to take the lead after a good cross from the right found Z. Williams alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. 31 minutes in, the referee awarded Hardurus a penalty. E. Campo coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Hardurus claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

Hardurus put in a good effort on the right, but Z. Williams saw his volley fly wide of the mark 47 minutes into the game. Hardurus were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. A. Gunyaev could have increased the lead after 66 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. With 68 minutes gone, C. Rheindahlen suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Hardurus caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. E. Campo left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 77 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. M. Siemianowski was the replacement. Hardurus had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

The most dominating Hardurus player was without a doubt A. Gunyaev. However, P. Díaz made a disastrous appearance. Rospikk's best player was P. Vittoria. L. Pereira turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
