Clear skies welcomed the 19036 spectators who had made their way to AGEGE Arena. Tomas Luijten was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Henning Stäblein and Tero Kilpiäinen. sexygal decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. The following players took the field: Katzir - Eliav, Gerrassy, Shivhon, Yael, Levy - Schwartz, Hawk, Huzayel, Almog - Bar Lev.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for TOT. Starters: Claesson - Jasūdis, Putschögl, Hauge - Flejsborg, Anastasio, Mihajlović, Karlsson, Baby - Rapolder, Thörnen.

For their match strategy, sexygal had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 17 minutes into the match, and M. Thörnen wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 20 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for R. Anastasio who increased TOT's lead to 0 - 2. B. Katzir got a fingertip on M. Thörnen's shot from the left 29 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Some fine movement on the left led to a TOT goal after 32 minutes, making it 0 - 3. M. Mihajlović was noted down as the scorer. sexygal had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 34 minutes, but L. Schwartz's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. TOT enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

TOT increased their lead after 61 minutes when M. Thörnen broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. The players of TOT now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from P. Hauge after 64 minutes, and prevented TOT from going up another goal. G. Levy charged down the left and looked sure to score for sexygal 74 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. Against a lesser team, sexygal could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 79 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. sexygal's M. Shivhon was shown a yellow card after 84 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

sexygal's best player was G. Levy. However, S. Bar Lev made a disastrous appearance. TOT's top performer was clearly B. Karlsson. On the other hand, A. Baby's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
