27390 spectators had found their way to EDEN, despite the heavy rain. Rafael Burga was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ricardo Alves and Borre Galli. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Klabzubova. The following players had been chosen: van Oldebarneveld - Castanheira, Eder, Smith - Guillossou, Zieglmaier, Mohammadi, Grepl, Redondo - Pan Bajo, Dracena.

Čáslavice had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Bačina - Sempert, Slavchev, Jagła - Volais, Rougier, Bittrich, Landerie, Ravid - Parkin, Ponticelli.

Čáslavice used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. The crowd groaned its disapproval when D. Smith missed a free kick that would have given Klabzubova the lead after 13 minutes. Čáslavice's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. After 18 minutes of play, L. Eder gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Klabzubova put themselves up 2 - 0 when D. Smith broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. By now, the players in Klabzubova felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 23 minutes, E. Zieglmaier put Klabzubova ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Čáslavice's R. Sempert got himself booked for a foul. Halftime score was 3 - 0. Klabzubova had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

A bit later, Čáslavice's R. Slavchev easily reduced the lead to 3 - 1 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. P. Dracena increased the lead for Klabzubova to 4 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! 70 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as B. Guillossou broke through, making the score 5 - 1 for Klabzubova. The rain made it hard for players like T. Redondo to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Klabzubova, with 70 percent of the ball.

Klabzubova's top performer was clearly P. Mohammadi. J. van Oldebarneveld on the other hand, had a terrible day. Čáslavice's best player was G. Parkin. D. Bačina was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 1.
