Manzo_Team used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. After 4 minutes Manzo_Team's R. Rondón had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. S. Coello came in to replace him. Turbonegri's A. Catellini placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but U. Wijayanto couldn't finish. 18 minutes into the game, Manzo_Team wanted to bring some new energy to their game. O. Hagen gave K. Kensy a quick hug as he left the field. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, J. Magera took over the role of being the Manzo_Team captain. M. Scardovi made one of his many fine passes from the wing into the middle 39 minutes into the match. Y. Soma bravely attempted to execute a diving header and the ball was met firmly with his forehead for Turbonegri. 1 - 0. Manzo_Team pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. A. Linsinger of Manzo_Team received a yellow card after 42 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Manzo_Team had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 44 minutes, but K. Kensy's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Turbonegri claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Manzo_Team had a chance to level the score as M. Camilli suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. After 70 minutes, Manzo_Team used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. Turbonegri solidified their lead at the 72 minute mark, as G. Brailowski dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. Y. Soma increased the lead for Turbonegri 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! The players of Turbonegri now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. After 80 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and F. Marcheselli gave the Turbonegri supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. Turbonegri had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

U. Wijayanto performed admirably for Turbonegri. T. Arco turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Manzo_Team player was without a doubt B. Merlini. S. Tavares was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
