Guardians were relying on their ability to counter-attack. After 26 minutes Guardians's J. Cavaciocchi limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Poboteam created a good opportunity to score 31 minutes into the match when E. Charlemagne's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Guardians's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 32 minutes gone, but X. Cofán's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. Poboteam made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left M. Prisco completely alone with keeper M. Ucedo, who made a spectacular block. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Poboteam had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

With 55 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as L. Porębski flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Cheers filled the stadium as A. Kumičić broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Poboteam. After 66 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and I. Chivu gave the Poboteam supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Poboteam were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The referee showed Poboteam's J. Vlas the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Guardians's counterattacks created a good chance for X. Cofán on the right after 73 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. 85 minutes into the game, M. Prisco had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came F. Szymonik. Possession in this half belonged to Poboteam, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Most important Poboteam player was I. Chivu. However, A. Kumičić made a disastrous appearance. Guardians's best player was R. MacNayer. J. Cavaciocchi turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
