Clear skies welcomed the 331 spectators who had made their way to Zirkus Maximus. Sawat Thamsin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vincent Morton and Bruce Dittmayer. United tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Bittner - Eisenbarth, Thouvenin, Scardia, Schmitt - Moser, Caflisch, Hernandez, Erhard - Jeanrenaud, Hanriot.

Mir had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Dvorkin - Kastrup, Valderrama, Schiopu - Romero, Chevrier, Mota, Vasilescu, Zeevi - Sieburg, Gys.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Mir. The visitors could have taken the lead from a free kick after 17 minutes, if it wasn't for the jaw-dropping save by L. Bittner. United's R. Moser was shown a yellow card after 18 minutes for slicing down an opponent. United's J. Schmitt got himself booked for a foul. P. Erhard showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for United after 35 minutes to make the score 1 - 0. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Mir, with 72 percent of the ball.

L. Eisenbarth of United received a yellow card after 56 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With clinical precision, the cross from winger P. Erhard found its way to A. Hanriot's head, and a screaming header gave United the goal after 70 minutes played. 2 - 0 77 minutes into the game, Mir seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, C. Jeanrenaud got himself booked. The manager of United was not happy. Mir came close to narrowing the gap when S. Schiopu's free kick nearly made it past the outstretched hands of L. Bittner after 87 minutes. 88 minutes into the game, A. Hanriot finished off a United left wing counterattack, making the score 3 - 0. Mir enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

The most dominating United player was without a doubt B. Caflisch. However, L. Bittner made a disastrous appearance. F. Vasilescu performed admirably for Mir. G. Sieburg turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
