36013 punters turned up at La tana dei leoni, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Massimiliano Aspè was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Stephen Gandy and Alex Ciorbea. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Kursaal. The following players had been chosen: Godtfred - Edens, Sobrevals, Grisez - Polojärvi, Ermiye, Macheritsas, Vikesh, Adamidis - Akukweti, Houli.

Mousa decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. Starters: Rebehn - Każmierczak, Halvorsen, Järvensivu, Trombini, Östermark - Petrunov, Smiļģis, Bulut - Alés, Salgueiro.

Today, Kursaal's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Mousa immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. As the 1 minute mark approached, the Kursaal coach decided it was time for a substitution. J. Sobrevals reluctantly made way for M. Bonnink on the pitch. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 4 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from M. Ermiye, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. 18 minutes in, Kursaal's J. Edens received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. J. Akukweti could have increased the lead after 21 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. After 24 minutes, F. Houli sent the corner kick right to H. Grisez who headed it sharply past the keeper. 2 - 0! M. Polojärvi increased the lead for Kursaal to 3 - 0, 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! After 26 minutes, Kursaal's F. Houli found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 4 - 0. By now, the players in Kursaal felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Kursaal's F. Houli increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 29 minutes. After 30 minutes Mousa's E. Alés limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Halftime score was 5 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Kursaal, with 76 percent of the ball.

A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Kursaal to 6 - 0 as C. Vikesh finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. D. Adamidis of Kursaal was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish F. Każmierczak, which resulted in a goal making the score 7 - 0. After 62 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and H. Grisez gave the Kursaal supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 8 - 0. Kursaal put themselves up 9 - 0 when J. Akukweti broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Kursaal increased the lead as J. Akukweti struck to make the score 10 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. 76 minutes in, Mousa appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only solid. The bench was restless, and with 78 minutes passed Mousa's coach gave H. Bedós the opportunity the player had been hoping for. M. Trombini reluctantly left the field. After 78 minutes Kursaal's passing play almost managed to outwit the pressure from the defenders and find a shooting opportunity, but a last minute sliding tackle from a defender blocked the long shot. Mousa needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 85 minutes M. Rebehn made way for M. Achirei. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Mousa's Ž. Smiļģis was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 88 minutes. Q. Galé was given a chance to change things around. The coach of Kursaal was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 89 minutes, A. Lepp came on for M. Polojärvi. Possession in this half belonged to Kursaal, who controlled the ball 78 percent of the time.

Kursaal's best player was F. Houli. A. Lepp turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Mousa player was V. Petrunov. On the other hand, M. Achirei's play was disheartening. The match ends 10 - 0.
