They fielded: Zamastil - Miller, Patruno, Şofronea, Pietrusiak - Gatto, Del Pino, García, Casiello, Currás - Grociak.

TYM decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Albăcan - Chotinas, Sandfeldt, Jarmerstedt - Čepauskis, Koro, Pták, Dudda, Haarhuis - Grimas, Baueris.

Today, TYM's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 25 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Menesenke was R. Grociak. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Menesenke scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for G. Miller after 29 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Menesenke claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

A great save by keeper V. Albăcan after 47 minutes kept the visitors in the game after F. Del Pino struck from the left with a real cannonball. TYM's W. Jarmerstedt had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 55 minutes having been played. A. Nekriošius was the replacement. TYM fought on and, after 56 minutes, S. Dudda was able to reduce the deficit to 2 - 1 after some excellent moves on the right side were finished off with an incredibly clever chip. Always quick on his feet, TYM's R. Baueris sped down the field after 73 minutes, but his pass to E. Grimas was just a bit too far ahead for him to get a good shot off. 83 minutes in, Menesenke's G. Gatto received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Menesenke enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Most important Menesenke player was G. Gatto. M. Zamastil on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating TYM player was without a doubt E. Grimas. A. Nekriošius was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
