Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin Arena saw a crowd turnout of 28419. Alex Barzewisch was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Manolo Custurer and Manuel Amendoeira. Torpedo had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Pillittu - Canton, Trombetta, Corbo - Ringeval, Alaçam, Fougeroux, Necile, Pizarro - Georgiev, Allach.

A.S.Speranza decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Boshnjaku - Evangelista, Branca, Inciarte, Dolk - Waldmann, Vanhees, Moll, Serra, Fragueiro - Martínez.

Torpedo were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 6 minutes into the match, and F. Martínez 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. Some fine movement on the left led to a A.S.Speranza goal after 21 minutes, making it 0 - 2. J. Inciarte was noted down as the scorer. 28 minutes into the game, A.S.Speranza worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. 32 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as E. Vanhees finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. A.S.Speranza enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 74 percent of possession.

A. Fragueiro sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from G. Evangelista after 63 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 4. After the ball was lifted in from the left, E. Waldmann was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 72 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. G. Pillittu got a fingertip on A. Fragueiro's shot from the left 77 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. A.S.Speranza increased the lead to 0 - 5 as G. Evangelista scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. At this point, it was obvious that the players of A.S.Speranza lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 80 minutes in, Torpedo's F. Trombetta received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, A.S.Speranza's E. Waldmann somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for F. Martínez, who struck for 0 - 6. The visitors added to their lead 84 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by A.S.Speranza's G. Evangelista slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 7. Torpedo had a brilliant opportunity to reply as T. Allach received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only F. Boshnjaku's reflexes saved him. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by A.S.Speranza, with 72 percent of the ball.

Torpedo's best player was R. Corbo. D. Fougeroux on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating A.S.Speranza player was without a doubt F. Boshnjaku. J. Dolk turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
