Things were deteriorating for the away team as excoto scored another to make it 4 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for M. Mastai after 39 minutes. excoto's Q.

A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of excoto to 5 - 0 as D. Saja finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle.

With 78 minutes played, excoto put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to G. Ketilsson, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home.
